The first round of the NFL Draft is Roger Goodell's show. Sure, the players are the focus of the night, but Goodell is present for all 32 picks as the NFL's most powerful man welcomes the league's next generation of stars.

As always, Goodell will take a step back when Day 2 of the draft begins on Friday. NFL vice president of football operations Troy Vincent runs the show, but he only announces a handful of picks. The rest of the work is done by a slew of guests ranging from current and former players to outright celebrities.

Two Lions greats are undoubtedly in line for the loudest ovations of the weekend in Detroit. Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders will both take the stage to announce one of the Lions' two picks on Day 2, giving a rabid fan base an opportunity to welcome back two legends.

Here's a look at the complete list of celebrity guest pickers for Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, from Johnson to Ric Flair.

Texans Christian Harris 42, 59

Vikings None --

The list provided by the NFL is unlikely to be the full extent of celebrity pickers, as popular video game streamer Sketch already announced he will announce one of the Texans' picks. While it's possible he could join Christian Harris when Houston selects at No. 42 or No. 59, Sketch could also have to wait until Day 3 to have his moment.

The Vikings are the only team without a Day 2 pick for the time being, so they aren't slated to have a guest picker. They traded the No. 42 pick to the Texans in a March deal to acquire an additional first-round pick.
