Video: Dustin Poirier announces New Orleans Saints pick Alontae Taylor at NFL draft
UFC star Dustin Poirier always represents Louisiana in everything he does, but Friday was a first.
At the 2022 NFL Draft, Poirier and former NFL player Cam Jordan were the two representatives chosen by the New Orleans Saints to announce the team’s second round pick: Alontae Taylor, a cornerback from the University of Tennessee.
Jordan approached the mic first and said everything necessary, except the name, for which he left on a silver platter for Poirier to reveal the 49th overall pick.
Check out Poirier’s official reading of the selection in the video below.

In 2021, Taylor registered career highs with 60 tackles, two interceptions, and six pass breakups in 12 games started as a senior.
The 2022 NFL Draft takes place over the course of three days, from Thursday to Saturday, at The Draft Theater in Las Vegas. Check out USA Today’s live coverage and draft tracker here.
