Watching the draft from his hometown of Lafayette, Bech was surrounded by family and friends, including LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. He hugged his parents after he got the call while the rest of the people at the draft party cheered and clapped.

When Tiger Bech died in a New Orleans terror attack, his brother Jack sought to live out his NFL dream for both of them.

Bech, the TCU receiver, was chosen by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 58 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday night. Tiger Bech is Jack's older brother, a Princeton receiver who was one of the 14 people killed in the New Orleans terrorist attack on New Year's Day.
