When the Los Angeles Rams finally make their first pick in the 2022 NFL draft, they’ll have a legend on-hand in Las Vegas to announce the selection. The league released a list of active players and legends who will announce each team’s Day 2 pick on Friday night, and for the Rams, it’ll be Steven Jackson on stage revealing who the Rams pick.
That is, if the Rams don’t trade down and defer their first selection until the fourth round.
Last year, Orlando Pace announced the Rams’ picks on Day 2. He and Jackie Slater also had that honor in 2019.
Jackson announced the Rams’ third-round pick in 2017, when they drafted Cooper Kupp 69th overall out of Eastern Washington.
Jackson himself was a first-round pick in 2004, landing with the Rams as the 24th overall selection. He played nine years with the Rams, rushing for 10,138 yards and 56 touchdowns during his time in St. Louis.
It’s almost impossible to know which name Jackson will read when the Rams pick at No. 104 overall, but it’s a good bet to be a cornerback, edge rusher, lineman or wide receiver.
