Raiders Guest to Announce Selection at NFL Draft

Las Vegas Raiders’ special guest will announce a selection on the third day of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The 2023 NFL Draft is less than one week away, and while teams are closing up on their draft prospects, teams like the Las Vegas Raiders are also preparing who will be making their selections.

This year, the NFL is conducting a series of special guests to announce the team’s selection on draft day.

“The NFL Draft provides an exciting opportunity for inspirational fans from around the world to get involved with their favorite team by announcing selections from the Draft stage and remotely,” the NFL noted in their press release.

Organizations such as Make-A-Wish, Pat Tillman Foundation (PTF), Big Brothers Big Sisters, and others will participate in the event. At the same time, the Raiders will have a breast cancer survivor selecting one of their Day Three selections.

Avid Raiders fan Jan Thomas, a cancer survivor, will announce one of the Silver and Black's Day Three selections.

At age 55, she had her first mammogram and soon learned she had breast cancer – she was diagnosed in February 2015. After receiving a mastectomy in April, she underwent reconstructive surgery in November 2015.

Cancer treatments, appointments, and surgery soon consumed her life. Her medical provider connected her with the American Cancer Society, where she and her friends found online resources and live cancer experts Today.

“Jan is cancer free, but she knows that others are just beginning their fight or are still in it," the Raiders said in a statement. "Jan credits the Raiders as a big part of her cancer journey, as her family was her support system and they watched football together – which got her through her hardest days. She found healing in every game she watched with her family.”

The Raiders have 12 selections in the draft, seven coming on Day Three.
