A former NFL player rambled so long before announcing a pick that a producer had to tell him to hurry up

This was so awkward.

The second night of the 2022 NFL Draft is under way in Las Vegas and things have been moving along at a pretty good pace in Round 2.

Well, things were going at a pretty good pace until former Minnesota Vikings running back Ed Marinaro came out to announce a pick and decided to talk for a very long time about his time in the NFL, his jacket, and a lot of other things.

He rambled for so long that a producer had to come out on the stage and tell him to hurry the heck up and just read the card, which he finally did.

But seriously, this took forever:

I’m happy for Ed and the career he had and the life that he has lived but that was way too long. Read the room, fella!

Twitter had jokes.
