As the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off in Green Bay, Wisconsin, it marks a historic first—every franchise holds a first-round selection. While elite top-tier talent may be limited, the real strength of this year’s class lies in its Day 2 depth, where many expect plug-and-play starters to emerge.
Adding to the excitement, the NFL continues its popular tradition of inviting current and former players to announce picks live. “All 32 teams own a first-round pick for the first time in NFL history,” USA TODAY reported. Day 2 will see fan-favorite legends and active stars take the stage, including Green Bay alumni, as the Packers prepare to make the 23rd pick in the first round.

The NFL Draft is more than just a roster refresh—it’s a spectacle where tradition meets the future of football. As the 90th edition of the NFL Draft kicks off from April 24 to 26, 2025, at the iconic Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, fans can expect a celebration rich in nostalgia, star appearances, and emotional moments.

Legends Lend Their Voices on Day 1

Commissioner Roger Goodell will be front and center, as always, but this time, he’ll be flanked by Green Bay royalty. Five revered former Packers—Mason Crosby, Ahman Green, James Jones, Clay Matthews, and Jordy Nelson—will join him to launch the event in grand style. Their presence isn’t just symbolic; it marks Green Bay’s legacy as the host city and underscores Lambeau’s standing as a cathedral of the game.
Adding an inspiring touch to the evening, the 2024 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, Arik Armstead, will step up to announce the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first-round pick. It’s a powerful nod to the off-field impact players have within their communities, elevating the night’s significance beyond football.
