Texans enlist astronauts to announce Day 3 picks from space

Reuters

The NFL will allow fans and celebrities to participate in the 2017 NFL Draft by announcing team picks on Day 3. The Houston Texans are taking it up a notch by tabbing astronauts from the International Space Station and Space Center to announce their picks on Saturday - from outer space.

Astronaut Peggy Whitson and former astronaut Scott Kelly will announce the Texans' fourth- and fifth-round draft picks, according to Mark Berman of FOX26.

Now that's a cool feature that surely can't be topped, unless a team makes a pick from Uran ... never mind.
