Former Eagles star lands special role at 2026 NFL Draft

The NFL Draft is one of the most watched events on the sports calendar each year. Over the last four years, live viewership has averaged 6.31 million, a number that does not include the hundreds of thousands of people who are following the NFL Draft online every April.

One of the highlights of the NFL Draft is when former players come out to the stage to make the formal announcement of the teams they represent. These have become some of the most viral moments at the NFL Draft every year:

*Dallas Cowboys Legend Drew Pearson riled up Eagles fans at the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia, emphasizing how many championships the Cowboys have won over the years.
*At the 2018 NFL Draft in Dallas, former Eagles Kicker David Akers "returned the favor" to Cowboys fans a few months after the Eagles won their first Super Bowl champion
*Former Punter Pat McAfee roasted the Tennessee Titans while announcing the Indianapolis Colts' selection at the 2019 NFL Draft

Former Eagles who have announced Philadelphia's selections at the NFL Draft include Jeremiah Trotter, Trent Cole, Mike Golic Sr, and Mike Quick.
