Although most draftniks predicted both Manti Te'o and Geno Smith would go in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, both players had to wait until Day 2 to hear their names called.
They didn't have to wait too long, however. Many NFL players took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the San Diego Chargers nabbing Te'o at No. 38 overall, the New York Jets selecting Smith at No. 39 overall and other picks from Friday night.
Manti Te'o welcome to the squad bro. Let's get to work bud... @chargers #BoltUp ⚡⚡⚡⚡

I think San Diego got a steal with Manti in the 2nd round. That will be a great fit for him!

Too many comparisons to #Seau are going to happen in SD. Hope Te'o handles it well.

If Geno Smith thought the spotlight was hot in the green room wait until he goes to training camp with the Jets
