The second night of the NFL Draft is an opportunity for legendary names of the past to usher in promising names of the future. Each year, former players of each NFL team announce second- and third-round draft picks for the teams they used to play for.  

A recent Cincinnati Bengals Ring of Honor inductee will have the honor of announcing his former team's newest players this year.

Former Bengals nose tackle Tim Krumrie has been revealed as the Bengals' legend to announce their picks on Friday, April 25. 

Krumrie spent his entire 12-year career playing for the Bengals after they drafted him in the 10th round of the 1983 draft. He made his first Pro Bowls in 1987 and earned another honor in 1988, the same year he became a First Team All-Pro and Cincinnati went to its second Super Bowl. 

Krumrie suffered a gruesome leg injury in that Super Bowl. He stayed in the locker room initially to watch the rest of the game on TV and only went to the hospital after being told he could go into shock. 

A broken tibia and fibula suffered on Jan. 22 did not prevent Krumrie from suiting on 231 days later for the 1989 season opener. In fact, he would not miss another game for the remainder of his career, which lasted until the end of the 1994 season. He retired having played 188 games, the fourth-most in franchise history at the time. Only Clark Harris (202) and Kevin Huber (216) have surpassed him since, and Huber took the all-time lead back in 2022. 

Cincinnati fans helped enshrine Krumrie into the team's Ring of Honor last year, joining Corey Dillon as members of the fourth annual class. 

The Bengals possess the 49th and 81st overall picks in the upcoming draft, and Krumrie will announce both picks.
