Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner is set to announce the team's Day 2 selections at next week's NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, per @AdamSchefter.
The announcement marks a significant return to Pittsburgh for Conner, who has deep ties to the city and its football history. Before joining the Arizona Cardinals, Conner was a standout star for the University of Pittsburgh in college and spent the first four seasons of his professional career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will now represent the Cardinals organization on the podium during the second and third rounds of the draft in a city where he remains a celebrated figure.
The NFL Draft's Day 2 features picks for the second and third rounds, where teams often utilize former players or community figures to announce their selections. Conner, who has become a focal point of the Arizona offense since joining the team in 2021, was a natural choice for the role given the draft's location this year.
