O'Neil, who will also be celebrating his birthday on Day 2 of the three-day NFL Draft, is excited for the opportunity of representing Tom Brady's Buccaneers.

"I'm honored to represent my Hometown NFL team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, at this year's NFL Draft," O'Neil told WWE.com. "As a person who holds a great relationship with many of the players and someone who enjoys an impactful partnership with the Bucs organization serving the Tampa Bay Region through my Bullard Family Foundation, this is truly a special moment. This opportunity to announce the name of the next great contributor to our community both on and off the field is an honor that I'll never forget.

"It's also the BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT ever as I get to celebrate on my birthday this very special occasion with the NFL, the Bucs, the Tampa Bay community, and the player selected."
