Check out the Wisconsin Badgers family members announcing draft picks
The University of Wisconsin presence was strong on Day 2 of the draft, starting with the first pick of the second round when NFL Hall of Famer and UW alumnus Joe Thomas announced the Cleveland Browns' initial pick of the day. From there, a heavy rotation of ex-Badgers announced picks for their former (and current!) NFL teams. Here's how they commemorated the moment.

Vikings legend announced for pick announcement on day two of NFL Draft
Vikings legend announced for pick announcement on day two of NFL Draft The NFL will again have legends from each franchise to announce picks in rounds two and three this week. Some teams have several picks, so they'll have several legends making appearances. That won't be the case for the Minnesota Vikings, who are slated to have only one pick on Day 2 of the draft. Former tight end Stu Voigt, who played his entire 11-year career in Minnesota, will announce the Vikings' pick. The team drafted Voigt out of Wisconsin in the 10th round (260th overall) of the 1970 draft. Voigt didn't play much as a rookie and only started nine games in his first three seasons. But he became a full-time starter in 1973, catching 23 passes for 318 yards and two touchdowns as the Vikings reached their second Super Bowl. In all, Voigt played 131 regular-season games with 80 starts in Minnesota, catching 177 passes for 1,919 yards and 17 touchdowns. He started in Super Bowls VIII, IX, and XI, all of which the Vikings lost.
