Jon Pardi to Assist the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers on Draft Day

Jon Pardi to Assist the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers on Draft Day

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey  |  April 27, 2017

Round 1 of the NFL Draft is must-watch television (today) for a lot of football fans across the country.

Rounds 2 and 3, which take place on April 28, still get pretty good ratings.

But Rounds 4, 5, 6 and 7 on April 29 are really for the diehard fans. That’s why NFL teams are trying to make those late-round selections more riveting this year by incorporating some star power into the mix. For instance, the San Francisco 49ers will enlist the help of California native Jon Pardi to make their Day 3 selections. Jon will be announcing the picks from Levi’s Stadium on April 29.

If you want to see Jon in action, tune in to the NFL Network on April 29 at noon ET.
