The second and third rounds of the 2022 NFL Draft have commenced and there have already been two viral moments. The first moment involved a strange and weird performance from magician Cris Angel, with the other being from "Blue Mountain State" actor Ed Marinaro, who's long and absolutely brutal spiel while announcing the 42nd overall pick for the Minnesota Vikings--with the producer even notably running on stage in an effort to hurry him along.
In the later rounds, the NFL has fans, celebrities, and former and current players appear on stage to call their teams' picks, and somehow Marinaro was the only notable person with any association with the Vikings that was available to welcome Clemson's Andrew Booth Jr. to the team.
Like clockwork, Twitter absolutely destroyed Marinaro.
Marinaro, before pursuing a career in acting, was a former Vikings running back who was drafted in the second round out of Cornell in the 1972 NFL Draft. Marinaro was a great running back in college, winning the 1971 Maxwell Trophy and was a runner-up for that year's Heisman. Pretty impressive considering the Ivy League is not known as a football power.
He is of course most recently known for his portrayal as Martin "Marty" Daniels in Blue Mountain State, a fictionalized show about a college football team that aired on Spike TV for three seasons.
