Broncos Rick of Fame receiver Rick Upchurch will announce the team’s second-round pick in the 2015 draft at Roosevelt University’s Auditorium Theater in Chicago on May 1.
Uprchuch will also take part in pre-draft festivities, with autograph signings and interviews.
Upchurch, who was selected by the Broncos in the fourth round (95th overall) in the 1975 draft, spent his entire career with Denver (1975-83) and was named to four Pro Bowls and five Associated Press All-Pro teams. He retired with 267 career receptions for 4,369 yards and 24 touchdowns, and 49 rushes for 349 yards and three scores. He also had 248 punt returns for 3,008 yards with eight touchdowns, a franchise record that tied Hall of Fame safety Jack Christiansen for the most in league history at the time.
This is the fifth year that NFL legends from the 32 teams will announce second-round draft selections.
