GREEN BAY – Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver James Lofton and two-time Pro Bowl defensive end
Aaron Kampman will announce the Packers’ Day 2 picks at the NFL Draft on
Friday, April 26, in Nashville.
For this year’s draft, the NFL is having former first-round
picks announce their team’s second-round pick, while players drafted in later
rounds will read off the third-round selection. The Packers are scheduled to
pick at No. 44 in the second round and No. 76 in the third round.
Lofton, the sixth-overall pick in the 1978 NFL Draft, led the
Packers in receptions in all but one of his nine seasons in Green Bay. He ranks
third in franchise history with 530 catches and second with 9,656 receiving
yards.
Kampman, a fifth-round
pick out of Iowa in 2002, ranks fifth in franchise history with 54 sacks. He
made back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances for the Packers in 2006-07.
Both players also will be on-site to mentor the prospects and
give back to the city of Nashville through participation in a variety of
community service events.
Pro Football Hall of Fame guard Jerry Kramer
and former linebacker Brad Jones announced the Packers’ Day 2 picks last year.
