Rollins and White will be in attendance in Green Bay next week.
One week out from the NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, it’s still anyone’s guess as to who the Chicago Bears will be taking with their picks.
We do, however, know two of the special names who will be in attendance to announce some of those picks: former Bears WR Dez White and WWE superstar Seth Rollins.
White played for the Bears from 2000 until 2003. Selected by the Bears in the third round of the 2000 NFL Draft (#69 overall), White had 1,754 yards receiving from the Bears over the course of four seasons, including 8 TD receptions.
The NFL revealed White among a list of former and active players who will announce picks during rounds two and three of the draft.
The participation by WWE’s Seth Rollins in the draft has not yet officially been announced, but Rollins let the news slip during an appearance on Daniel Cormier’s podcast in Las Vegas.
Rollins is in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 41 this weekend. He will be main eventing night one of WrestleMania this Saturday night in a triple threat match against Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
Rollins is a lifelong Bears fan, and he’s been extremely vocal about his fandom on his social media platforms over the years.
We know that White will be in attendance at the draft, and although not confirmed, Rollins makes it sound like he will be too based upon his comments in the video clip above.
