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:

Adoree’ Jackson was such a unique guy to cover at USC. Will be fun to see what he can do in the NFL on ST and at DB.
— Lindsey Thiry (@LindseyThiry) April 28, 2017
Titans take @USC_Athletics' Adoree' Jackson at No. 18. #USC is the first program ever to have 80 first-round NFL Draft picks.

Just let Mariota throw go routes to Adoree three times a game.

#Titans are looking for some serious playmakers. Got two of them with the Adoree' Jackson pick #NFLDraft

Adoree' Jackson is the 4th #USC player taken by the Tennessee Titans, joining Jurrell Casey, Damian Williams and LenDale White.

USC, which entered with a record 79 first-round NFL draft picks, hadn't had a cornerback taken in the opening round until Adoree’ Jackson.

Ironic thing is, Tennessee Vols were a big player for Adoree Jackson early in his recruitment. #NFLDraft

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