NEW YORK, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Former first-round picks Phil Simms – the Super Bowl MVP and CBS Sports broadcaster, Marshall Faulk – the NFL Hall of Famer, and Tyler Smith of the Dallas Cowboys, along with fantasy football guru Michael Fabiano join HANG on Thursday, April 27th at 8 pm, ET to connect face to face with fans during early opening round action of the 2023 NFL Draft. Also joining live from the Draft's venue at Kansas City's Union Station will be former Chiefs great Tony Richardson and current Chiefs receiver Justin Watson, along with potential first-round picks sweating out the selections. Former Chief and current San Francisco 49ers receiver Chris Conley hosts along with Dallas broadcaster Lady Jade.

The HANG virtual watch party platform, offering free access, is averaging over 800,000 viewers per game and is recognized as the 2023 Cynopsis Sports Award Winner for best production innovation.

The event is sponsored by Academy Sports + Outdoors, and is accessed at https://letshang.live/.

Simms, who says Bryce Young of Alabama will be the #1 draft pick and suggests possibly CJ Stroud of Ohio State will be No. 2 says, "The third one will be interesting. Could it be Kentucky's Will Levis or Florida's Anthony Richardson? That's what makes it fun to watch and talk about. We know Bryce Young goes first as he canceled all his visits and that tells me he knows he is going first in the draft. If you are a quarterback in the NFL right now, you better keep working because there are a lot of good quarterbacks coming out and more right behind them."
