Kaden Wetjen found out he was drafted by the Steelers while casually playing golf with his girlfriend

Not exactly your typical draft party setup.

"Hole 8, Round 4, Pick 121 - a moment we will remember forever," she wrote.

From there, the group paused the round and pulled up a livestream to watch the pick come through officially.

"I didn't shank it into the pond after I got picked so everything's going good," Wetjen said.

The golf course moment is fun, but Wetjen's path to that call is just as interesting.

He started his career at Iowa Western Community College before transferring to Iowa in 2022. 

While his receiving numbers never jumped off the page - he totaled 23 catches for 197 yards and a touchdown in his FBS career - he made his mark on special teams.

In 2024, he led the nation with 727 kick return yards and took both a kickoff and a punt back for touchdowns.

Then in his final season, he doubled down. Wetjen led the nation in punt return yards (563), averaged 26.8 yards per return and scored three punt return touchdowns. By the time he left Iowa, Wetjen had piled up 1,538 kick return yards and 954 punt return yards, with six total return touchdowns.

And just in case you were wondering, Wetjen didn't finish that round of golf.

Hard to blame the guy there.
