The Tennessee Titans set off fireworks for USC Twitter on Thursday night, selecting Adoree’ Jackson with the 18th pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Coming into NFL Draft weekend, Adoree’ Jackson was widely considered a fringe first round possibility. Instead, the Tennessee Titans took him off the board in the middle of Round 1.

The surprise selection set USC Twitter off, with teammates, coaches, media and fans rushing to congratulate the star cornerback and return man.

Here’s the best of the Twitter reaction to Jackson’s draft selection:

Jackson is the 497th draft pick in USC history and the 80th first rounder all-time, both of which are records.
