Old friend alert! Michael the Burner Turner will be announcing one of the Falcons’ Day 2 draft picks this year.

One of the best traditions of the NFL Draft is seeing which franchise legends step up to the podium to announce their team's selections. This year, the Atlanta Falcons are bringing back a fan favorite to share the spotlight on Day 2.

Get ready to hear from "The Burner"! Former Falcons powerhouse running back Michael Turner will officially announce one of the team's picks during the second or third round.

For many Falcons fans, this is a welcome blast from the past. Before the arrival of Bijan Robinson, Turner was arguably the most beloved running back in recent franchise history. His bruising, relentless style defined an era of Falcons football and helped usher in the Matt Ryan era.

After beginning his career with the San Diego Chargers, Turner exploded onto the scene in Atlanta in 2008. In his first season with the Falcons, he racked up a staggering 1,699 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns, earning First-Team All-Pro honors and instantly becoming the workhorse of the offense.

His five-year tenure in Atlanta was marked by pure consistency and toughness, amassing over 6,000 rushing yards and 60 total touchdowns. A two-time Pro Bowler, Turner's physical running style and nose for the endzone made him a nightmare for defenders and a hero in the hearts of Falcons faithful.

The Falcons hold the 48th overall pick in the second round and the 79th pick in the third. While we don't know which selection Turner will announce, his presence alone is a fantastic nod to a pivotal player in team history. It's a perfect moment to celebrate past glory while welcoming the next generation of Falcons talent.
