Troy Vincent To Announce Eagles Second Round Pick

by JasonB on Apr 21, 2011 5:00 PM EDT in Philadelphia Eagles News

The NFL has recruited 32 "greats" from each franchise to announce their teams' second round pick. For the Eagles, that will be Troy Vincent

Obviously it's a pretty fun idea and it should entertaining watching the older guys trying to pronounce some of the names... There are some interesting choices for a few of the guys making the picks. For instance, Jevon Kearse will be announcing the Titans pick. Is he even retired? It's somewhat interesting that they didn't pick an Houston Oiler.

They have Aaron Glenn announcing the pick for the Texans even though he was only there for a couple of years. I guess for a young franchise that's basically never been good, it's probably not easy to pick.

There's a full list of the guys announcing the picks after the jump, but what do you think of Troy Vincent being the Eagles representative?

It will be funny

As we trade that pick up/down into oblivion and he’s left sitting near the podium trying to figure out what the #53 overall pick got turned into. :P

Or maybe he needs to stand at the podium for half of the 2nd round picks when we parlay all our early round and late round picks into more 2nd rounders. LOL

Yeah I was wondering that too.. Although they did note that teams who don’t have 2nd round picks, will have the player announce their 3rd round pick

That’s awesome!! Troy Vincent is the man and my Dad’s favorite Eagle.

I dont think i realized Jevon retired.
Also….could this be a little bit of a ploy? Involving retired players while the cba mess goes on…..

Maybe, but wasn’t Vincent a big player in the union for a long time? Seems odd that he’d be volunteering for that if he thought this had anything to do with the CBA. Maybe they had planned this out well in advance?

Is Walter Peyton’s daughter going to announce Chicago’s pick? She was hot.

Who's Been Eatin' Hummus?

She passed wind, excused herself, and sponged off in the corner as I sat dazed and confused...

Hell yeah she was.

If the Eagles mad this selection, doesn’t it seem like a brilliant ploy where the Eagles will might be picking a 2nd round corner and with Vincent making the pick we have a Past and future passing of the torch type thing.

by Lesean25 on Apr 21, 2011 5:37 PM EDT reply actions

That torch was already passed to Sheldon Brown.

You only think were front runners because our team is winning.

Troy was good back in the day. Brings back some good memories. Can't believe how time passes by so quickly.

Good choice, one of the best Eagles in the last 20 years. Jeremiah Trotter, Hugh Douglas, Mike Bartrum would of been solid guys as well. Chuck Bednarik is my favorite all time Eagle but he may be to bitter to do this right.

Mike Florio, Mark Buerle, Michael Young, Jemele Hill- you have all tried to bring down the Eagles player and fans by way of your awful aritcles and ignorant tweets. Your all in the Axis of Evil.

you spelled 'articles', 'player[s]' and 'You're[all]' in your signature

You’re great… just tryin to help.

Dawkins should announce it

He was and always will be a blue collar philly star. He’s the type of player that Philly endears. He defines Philly football. I wouldn’t have minded seeing Randall cunningham either to bring me back to the older days (my older days anyway).
