As he did last year, Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders will announce the Detroit Lions' second round selection in the upcoming NFL draft. Sanders tweeted the news on Wednesday:
Just found out today that the @DetroitLionsNFL and @NFL have asked me back to annouce the Lions 2nd round draft pick

Last year was the first in which the NFL had former star players announce their former teams' second round picks. Sanders announced the Titus Young pick and received by far the biggest ovation from the crowd in New York City.
We have video of Sanders announcing the pick after the jump.
