Cali Prieskorn felt ready for her husband Caden Prieskorn to be drafted into the NFL until she learned a surprising rule.
The TikTok star, 25, opened up about the rule with Allison Kuch on the Sunday Sports Club podcast on March 23 as she discussed how she and her husband — who plays tight end for the Ole Miss Rebels in Mississippi— are waiting to learn their next move as a family.
"When you get drafted, that doesn't mean you're on the team," she revealed.
"I was feeling so confident until I learned this," she explained, noting that initially, she thought they'd know where he would be located by May and could get started on finding a house.
However, she was shocked when her husband informed her that rosters don't officially come out until August, further delaying their plans.

Kuch, 30, recalled her own experience as an NFL WAG as her husband Issac Rochell was drafted, noting that she watched "other wives [and] girlfriends making their own decisions [about their living situation]."
"I was like, 'Why would any wife or girlfriend not wanna be living with their significant other?'" Kuch explained. "And then I'm like, 'Oh, they have kids.' If you get cut, 24 hours later, you're in a different team. It's not like fun and games where I'm just like, 'Oh, Vegas called, see you in Vegas.' [With] kids, it's way more intense."
Prieskorn — who shares a 3-year-old son named Mac and a 10-month-old daughter named Romy with Caden — agreed, noting that she wanted a "stable place where you can hang their clothes up in the closet."

"Things like that [are] so important to me," she continued. "So we decided to have a house in Oxford for now. Maybe we'll pick a new home one day, but Oxford is so home for us."
She revealed that she and her family plan to watch the NFL draft together in Caden's hometown of Michigan and that she and her kids plan to support him no matter how his career unfolds.
"I think the unknowns are very hard," she said. "He's projected to be a late-round pick or a free agent — which is borderline — and I'm almost like 'well, if you're gonna be a seventh round, you might as well let us pick where we go.' "
