The NFL Draft has officially gone to the zoo.
During the third day of the draft on Saturday, the Colts turned to two great apes from the Indianapolis Zoo to announce their picks on the NFL Network. Southern California tackle Zach Banner, South Florida running back Marlon Mack and Albany State defensive lineman Grover Stewart were all welcomed into the NFL by two orangutans, Azy and Rocky.
While most viewers seemed to think the scenes were charming and mostly harmless, NFL Network analyst and Philly native Mike Mayock was not pleased with the network’s decision to repeatedly cut back to the zoo during the last day of the draft.
