A Patriots legend is set to take the NFL Draft stage in Pittsburgh this weekend to announce a new addition to New England’s roster.
The NFL announced that former Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch will announce one of the franchises Day 2 picks on Friday.
Branch was a Day 2 selection himself by New England, as the club picked the Louisville receiver with the 65th overall in the second round.
The receiver spent seven seasons in New England, catching 328 balls for 4,297 yards and 24 touchdowns. Branch’s most memorable moment with the Patriots came in Super Bowl 39 where he caught 11 balls for 133 yards, tying the then-Super Bowl record for receptions.
It’s unknown at this time what exact pick Branch will be announcing, but it will be during the second and third round on Friday. The Patriots currently hold the 63rd (2nd) and 95th picks (3rd) in the Draft.
