The NFL Draft stage is about to get a major dose of personality. The league announced that former Indianapolis Colts All-Pro punter and current media powerhouse Pat McAfee will be at the podium to announce the Colts' selections on Day 2 of the upcoming draft.
McAfee, who played his entire eight-year career in Indianapolis from 2009-2016, is a franchise legend and one of the most electrifying punters of his era. His on-field accolades, including a First-Team All-Pro nod and two Pro Bowl selections, were just a preview of the entertainment value he brings. Since retiring, he has become a dominant voice in sports media as the outspoken host of ESPN's wildly popular "The Pat McAfee Show."
This won't be his first time calling a pick for his old team. Fans will remember his infamous 2019 appearance when he announced the Colts' third-round selection of linebacker Bobby Okereke, a moment famously punctuated by trolling the rival Tennessee Titans fanbase. While the pick may not have reached the "Hall of Fame" status McAfee jokingly predicted, the announcement was pure, unforgettable entertainment.
This year, McAfee will have the mic for the Colts' second and third-round picks, currently slotted at #47 and #78 overall. Given his unique blend of Colts pride and unfiltered showmanship, whatever he says at the podium is guaranteed to be a highlight of the draft's second night. For fans watching from home, it's the perfect reason to gear up in your favorite Colts apparel and tune in for a can't-miss moment.
