CeeDee Lamb, girlfriend explain viral cell phone moment
Former Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb fell further than anticipated in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday night, but it was his quick reflex skills that really got people talking.
After the Dallas Cowboys selected Lamb 17th overall, cameras showed him on the phone at his home. His girlfriend, Crymson Rose, proceeded to grab a second phone that was in Lamb's other hand, only to have him snatch it back from her.
