Retired New York Giants placekicker, Lawrence Tynes, will announce the team’s second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
Tynes made the announcement on Wednesday.
Kansas City is on a roll – and hosting the NFL draft this April is just one more example of our city's strength and momentum. For me, it is a professional thrill to be announcing the @Giants selection of our 2nd round draft pick. It's a dream combination to stand in my hometown… pic.twitter.com/Nvlk0InBH6

Tynes began his career as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs before leaving for East Rutherford in 2007.
Kansas City will be hosting the NFL draft this year after winning their third Super Bowl in franchise history. That is one shy of the Giants where Tynes spent the back half of his career winning two Super Bowls.
The kicker would finish his career off with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a successful nine-year NFL career that saw him make 190 field goals with 81.5% accuracy.
Over the franchise’s history, the Giants have drafted some pretty notable players in the second round. Michael Strahan, Amani Toomer, Leonard Marshall, Tiki Barber, and Osi Umenyiora are some big names landed in Round 2.
More recently, since 2010, New York has also selected Linval Joseph, Landon Collins, Sterling Shepard, and Dalvin Tomlinson in this position as well.
