Ahead of the first round of the NFL Draft yesterday, The Walt Disney Company naturally flexed their brands having Marvel style covers created for some of the players expected to be taken among the first 32 picks. They weren’t the only one wearing their Marvel love though as one player did it literally. Former Michigan defensive end Kwity Paye was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts last night with the 21st pick and Paye sported a Black Panther inspired suit just for the occasion. Not only did he have the suit just for this event, it was all designed by former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Adonis Jennings
Kwity Paye (@OfficialKwity) told me earlier today that Chadwick Boseman being the first Black superhero meant the world to him, so his draft suit reflected that. Suit was made by former Packers player Adonis Jennings pic.twitter.com/tqZ7qLfnio
