The remaining rounds of this year's draft take place in Detroit over the weekend as the 2024 class of prospects learn their fate.
During the weekend, fans have been remembering some iconic draft day moments over the past few years.
Few are more memorable than CeeDee Lamb's awkward interaction with his girlfriend Crymson Rose back in 2020.
Former Oklahoma wide receiver Lamb was sitting on his couch at home alongside his girlfriend on draft night that year.

Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy were selected 13th and 15th respectively and eventually Lamb slid towards the Dallas Cowboys at No. 17.
At one point, cameras cut to Lamb on the phone to Dallas when his girlfriend grabbed a second phone that received a call.
Before she could answer it, Lamb immediately snatched it back with one hand and shook his head while still on the call with the Cowboys.
Fans at the time went wild over the awkward moment and it's once again resurfaced this year.

Lamb hasn't looked back since draft night and has emerged as one of the league's brightest young wideouts.
He's made two All-Pro teams and three Pro Bowls and finished as the NFL receptions leader in 2023.
Last year, the 25-year-old set team records for receptions (135, best in the NFL) and yards (1,749) while his 395 catches for 5,145 yards are the most in franchise history for a player through his first four NFL seasons.
He is now heading into the final year of his rookie contract and is yet to be extended.
Lamb is set to earn a guaranteed $17.99 million from his fifth-year option and will be looking to get paid following the news that Lions' WR Amon-Ra St. Brown recently agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension.
The Cowboys also need to address other key contracts extensions this offseason, including Dak Prescott's.
Quarterback Prescott has one year remaining on his current contract, a four-year, $160 million deal signed in 2021.
Many believe he will eventually get a contract extension but if he doesn't he'll be hitting free agency in 2025.
Talented edge rusher Micah Parsons is another player whose future is somewhat in the air.

The Cowboys have reportedly picked up the fifth-year option on Parson's rookie contract, and will pay him $21.3 million this season.
It remains to be seen if he signs a longer term deal beyond that, but at least it buys team owner Jerry Jones some time.
