2026 NFL draft: James Conner to announced Arizona Cardinals' Day 2 picks
Instead of a legend from the past, the Cardinals will have a current player on their roster announced their Day 2 picks.
On Day 2 of the NFL draft for the last many years, the league has added a little bit of intrigue to keep more casual fans interested in watching. They have done that by having team legends or current stars announce selections for the second and third rounds of the draft. The Arizona Cardinals announced that in the draft next week, it will not be a past legend like Karlos Dansby, Jim Hart, Deuece Lutui and others.
Instead, it will be running back James Conner, who returns to the Cardinals in 2026 on Day 2. He will announce the Cardinals' selections in the second and third rounds. They have the 34th overall pick and the 65th.
Day 2 of the draft will start on Friday, April 24 at 7 p. m. ET, or 4 p.
