NFL commissioner Roger Goodell takes the stage on night one of the NFL draft, much to the chagrin of fans. However, things change on night two for the second and third rounds.
The NFL has legendary former players, special guests, or superfans announce the picks for their teams in the second round.
For the Washington Commanders, who are first on the clock at No. 47 overall, former linebacker London Fletcher will announce the Commanders’ first pick Friday.
Fletcher played 16 NFL seasons with three teams [Rams, Bills & Washington]. He spent the most time in Washington, as Fletcher played the final seven seasons of his career there. Fletcher earned four trips to the Pro Bowl while in Washington and was also named second-team All-Pro on two occasions.
Fletcher was a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022.
