Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft will soon begin in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where, for the first time in league history, every franchise holds a first-round pick. While the top end of this class may not boast many elite prospects, the depth in the middle rounds—particularly on Day 2—looks promising, with numerous players who could step into starting roles right away.
Continuing a growing tradition, Day 2 of the draft will feature both former and active NFL players announcing selections live in Green Bay. All 32 organizations will have at least one special guest to handle the announcements, and the host Packers plan to welcome a sizable roster of alumni for their own Day 2 picks.
How many guest announcers are there at the NFL Draft?
There are a total of 40 guest announcers at this year’s NFL Draft. This includes 29 teams with one representative each, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks with two each, and the Green Bay Packers bringing seven former (or active) players.
The annual NFL Draft is scheduled to be held from Thursday, April 24, 2025, to Saturday, April 26, 2025. This year’s draft is the 90th edition and will be held inside and around Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. The Tennessee Titans hold the first pick in the draft. They are followed by the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants.

Underwhelming. Discouraging. Catastrophic.All three words could accurately describe Bill Belichick’s first season in Chapel Hill as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.The Tar Heels are off to a dismal 2-3 start this season and have managed a total of four touchdowns in three losses to power-conference opponents. They have been outscored 120-33 in those three losses, an average margin of 29 points per game.Things have gotten so bleak that Belichick and UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham took to social media earlier this week to reaffirm their commitment to each other — a rare move, prompted by reports and speculation of behind-the-scenes dysfunction within the program.Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy addressed the situation during an #AskDave segment on "Big Noon Kickoff," responding to the question:What's your take on UNC sticking with Belichick?Portnoy didn't hold back with his answer."I think […]
Few coaches in college football are under more pressure than Penn State's James Franklin, and few players are under more pressure than Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning. Which one could have a new home first?FOX Sports college football analyst Mark Ingram was faced with that question during Saturday's edition of "Big Noon Kickoff.""I have to go James Franklin," Ingram said when asked whether Franklin or Manning are more likely to be in their last season with their current program. "Penn State's already getting fed up. They're already doing a GoFundMe to raise buyout money. They can't win a top-10 matchup. James Franklin is 4-21 against top-10 teams since he's been there. They just got stepped on by UCLA."And, quite frankly, Arch, he's continuing to grow. We put a lot on his plate, but he'll be back in Austin next year, […]
With eight months to go until the 2026 World Cup kicks off at the Estadio Azteca, the stakes are ratcheting up in qualifiers across the world. Africa's first round, in which six spots are to be filled, concludes during this break from the club season while two more spots are up for grabs in Asia. There is no such finality to games in Europe and North America just yet, but there is altogether less room for slip ups for some of the biggest sides in the sport... and indeed for some of the smallest nations.Here, then, are five games that could be among the most crucial in the race for one of the 45 qualification spots in north America next summer.1.

Getty Images In the wake of the 15-inning marathon that was Game 5 of the ALDS between the Seattle Mariners and the Detroit Tigers, the Mariners now only have one day off before starting the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's a fresh matchup. The two teams have only faced each other once in the playoffs and that was the Wild Card Series in 2022, with the Mariners winning two games to none. The Blue Jays haven't been to the ALCS since 2016 and haven't been to the World Series since 1993. The Mariners haven't been to this round since 2001 and have never won the AL pennant. They remain the only team of 30 in MLB to have never played in the World Series. They'll have their chance to advance here, but they have to deal […]
When the season began, one wouldn't have imagined that coveted Week 6 Fantasy football picks consisted of names like Rico Dowdle, Javonte Williams, Kendrick Bourne or Ryan Flournoy. But they all had 100-plus scrimmage yards on Sunday, with Dowdle going north of 200. Did they just have good matchups, or did their performances shoot them up the Week 6 Fantasy football rankings? Both recent performances and current matchups should be taken into account when making Fantasy football start/sit decisions.Dowdle had 206 yards versus the Dolphins, who will host the Chargers on Sunday. L.A. has now lost both Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton to IR, leaving Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal as the next men up in the backfield. Should either, or both, make their way into Week 6 Fantasy football lineups? Also, what does Joe Flacco's arrival in Cincinnati mean […]
New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck is out week to week with an upper-body injury sustained in Thursday’s 4-0 win against the Buffalo Sabres, the Rangers announced Saturday morning. The injury takes away one of New York’s most versatile players who can play in the team’s top six.Trocheck has one assist in two games this season. He has been a frequent center for wingers Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafrenière the past two seasons and has had at least 59 points all three of his years in New York. He played in the 2024 All-Star Game and finished the 2023-24 season with 25 goals and 77 points.AdvertisementWith Trocheck out, Mika Zibanejad moved back to center at Saturday’s morning skate in Pittsburgh. Zibanejad had started the year on J.T. Miller’s right wing — something both players said they wanted going into the […]
