Hours before NFL Draft, prospect proposes to girlfriend atop Empire State Building

Talk about a memorable day.

It was already going to be a life-changing night for University of North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron, who was taken No. 10 by the Detroit Lions in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday.

Ebron, though, seemingly figured, "Why stop there?"

So during the afternoon he used his free time in NYC to take his girlfriend, UNC hoops player Brittany Rountree, to the top of the Empire State Building and propose.
