When Notre Dame’s Kyle Hamilton was picked the number 14 by the Ravens in Thursday night’s NFL draft, he celebrated with family and friends before taking to the stage in Las Vegas.
Instead of hugging and kissing his girlfriend like most prospects do when drafted, security and his longtime girlfriend offered their handshake.
And it wasn’t a normal handshake. Hers had several tiers and ended with a swab. The video quickly went viral on social media, with many responding calling the celebration “couple goals.”
Once the handshake was done, Hamilton immediately left to collect his Ravens hat and jersey from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

In his Ravens’ introductory press conference, Hamilton explained how he and his girlfriend Reece created the handshake. The couple have been together for around six years.
“So, my girlfriend and I, Reece, Reece Damm, started dating in sophomore year of high school, and I think we dreamed up the handshake in junior year or something,” Hamilton said. “And so we’ve just been doing it ever since and we just decided it seemed like the right time to do it.”
The safety ended his three seasons at Notre Dame with 138 total tackles and eight interceptions.
