Carolina Panthers second-round pick James Bradberry was trying to fix his mother's toilet when he got the call Friday that he's headed to the NFL.

The Samford defensive back wasn't expected to be an early-round pick, but apparently the Panthers couldn't pass him up at No. 62 overall.

Unfortunately for his mom, answering the Panthers' life-changing phone call took priority over repairing the toilet. It remains broken.
