This year’s 2013 NFL Draft starts Thursday, April 25th at 8pm ET, returning to a prime-time slot on ESPN for the opening round, live from Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Rapper 50 Cent has been picked for the NFL Player Selection Meeting official commercial, performing his latest single “We Up.”
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, the 2012 third round pick who led Seattle to a NFC Divisional Playoff game as a rookie, will appear in and voice ESPN’s NFL Draft opening tease. The open will also feature multi-platinum recording artist 50 Cent and English rock band The Heavy performing the group’s hit “How You Like Me Now.” The music of both 50 Cent and The Heavy will also be paired with photos and video of more than 115 prospects — taken during the NFL Scouting Combine in March – throughout ESPN’s draft telecast.
The big elephant in the room is obviously the Kansas City Chiefs drafting Offensive-Tackle Luke Joekel, but the questions remain for this year’s draft pool, and where the others in the elite class will end up. The NFL Network is airing their “Path to the Draft” series each weeknight at 6pm ET/PT, which you should tune into for the latest developments heading into this year’s draft.
Check the commercial after the jump.
