When Tiger Bech died in the New Orleans terrorist attack in January, his brother Jack sought to live his NFL dream for both theme.

The dream came true when Jack Bech was selected late in Round 2, No. 59 in general in the NFL 2025 Drat, by the Las Vegas Raiders in Thorsday Night in Green Bay, Wis.

Bech’s brother, Tiger, was unexpected the duration of the infamous attack of terrorist trucks in Bourbon Street in New Orleans before Sugar Bowl.

Jack Bech, who attended TCU, has tattoos in honor of his brother Tiger and says that the Raiders will also write it in Spirit, a former open receiver from Princeton.

“This is one of the best moments in history,” Bech said in the ABC transmission of the NFL Draft. “I know that I have said bone, they are two for a guy, not only do they get me, they also get tiger. It’s a dream come true. Everyone in this room and the people I love most, the people who catch me here, I can’t wait.”

Bech, who enjoyed a 1,000 -yard season with cornudas frogs, continued to remember his brother in the transmission.

“I remember that he died, hey [would tell me] One thing for me to prepare, move on, “Bech recalled.” To continue pushing. It has brought me to new heights. He brought me places where I didn’t know I could go, just with dedication and willingness to leave and work.

“You know, every time you know, late at night, early in the morning, he will continue to bring me more and more. And I dedicate all my career to him.”

Bech caught 62 passes for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns in TCU last season.

Before transferring to school in 2023, Bech played two seasons for LSU.
