LOOK: Ravens draft Breshad Perriman, NFL not sure who he is

Breshad Perriman and Denzel Perryman are not the same person.

CHICAGO -- With the 26th pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday, the Baltimore Ravens selected Central Florida wide receiver Breshad Perriman. Apparently, someone forgot to tell the NFL though. 

After the pick, a Perriman highlight video was supposed to play at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, but instead, this happened. 

That's not Breshad Perriman. That's Miami linebacker Denzel Perryman, who wasn't even selected during the first round on Thursday. 

To add insult to injury, the video board snafu probably wasn't even the worst part of the night for Perriman. After he was picked, NFL Network cut to him celebrating -- only they didn't cut to him. They cut to someone who wasn't him.
