James Lofton to announce Packers’ second-round pick

Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Packers receiving great James Lofton will announce the Packers’ second-round draft pick at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Friday, May 9.

This marks the fourth straight year the NFL has had alumni players announce picks at the draft. Last year’s Green Bay alum was Dave Robinson, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame a few months later.

Around the NFC North, the alumni announcing second-round picks will be as follows: LB Mike Singletary for the Chicago Bears, WR Herman Moore for the Detroit Lions and S Joey Browner for the Minnesota Vikings.
