The Oakland Raiders wanted to find a talented player with leadership so they decided there was no better fit than Clelin Ferrell at the No. 4 overall pick during the NFL Draft last night.

Ferrell spoke with general manager Mike Mayock and defensive line coach Brentson Buckner and told them that he will bring the leadership and won't let them down.

"I promise - everything I got, " Ferrell said on the life-changing phone call. "What's up coach. I'm not going to let you down. Everything I got man. I'm telling you."

"I promise — everything I got."
