Former Kansas City Chiefs return specialist and wide receiver Dante Hall will announce the team's third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
247Sports' Kirk Larrabee broke the news on April 4.
This year's special guest presenters for the second and third rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft have been revealed, with Dante Hall the choice to do the honor for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hall will be announcing Kansas City's third-round pick, which is at No. 92 overall. No presenter was given for Kansas City's second-round picks, which will come at pick 61 and 63 overall.
The 40-year-old Hall played his first six NFL seasons for the Chiefs from 2000 to 2006. He was a two-time Pro Bowl player (2002 and 2003) and a 2003 First Team All-Pro selection.

Hall earned the nicknames “X-Factor” and “Human Joystick” because of his exciting return prowess — he returned 12 kicks and punts for touchdowns in his eight-year NFL career. He scored 11 of those touchdowns when he wore a Kansas City uniform (he scored the other one when he played for the then-St. Louis Rams), per Larrabee.
Long story short, Hall was an electrifying return man. He was no Devin Hester, but he still thrilled Chiefs fans with his play. It's a sure bet those fans will reminisce on his dazzling return plays when he takes the stage at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on April 26.
Other prominent former players who will announce selections during the draft include Darrell Green (Washington Redskins), Terrell Owens (San Francisco 49ers), Shaun Alexander (Seattle Seahawks), Jamal Lewis (Baltimore Ravens), Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts), Fred Taylor (Jacksonville Jaguars), Charles Woodson (Oakland Raiders), and Eddie George (Tennessee Titans), per Larrabee.
