The NFL Draft's second round is about to get a star-studded upgrade. The league has unveiled the roster of current and former players who will take the stage next week to announce those crucial Day 2 selections, adding a major dose of fanfare and franchise history to the proceedings.
All 32 teams will be represented by a notable alum, creating memorable moments for fans. A strong Pittsburgh connection is a clear theme, headlined by Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner. Given his history with the Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh, Conner is a fitting choice for the Cardinals' pick announcement.
He'll be joined by several other Pitt legends, including former Bears tackle Jimbo Covert, Cowboys Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett, and current Vikings tackle Brian O'Neill. The hometown Steelers themselves will have a powerful presence, with franchise icons Jerome Bettis and John Stallworth sharing the stage with the father-son duo of Joey Porter Sr. and Jr.
