For the second consecutive year, select retired NFL players will announce their respective former teams' second round 2012 draft picks next Friday.
Here's a look at the AFC East's representatives:
Bills - Phil Hansen: A participant of three of the Bills' four straight Super Bowl appearances, Hansen amassed 61.5 sacks. The defensive end was drafted in the second round of the 1991 draft and was named to the league's all-rookie team. He is currently running for a Minnesota Senate seat.
Dolphins - Dwight Stephenson: The lone AFC East Hall of Fame representative in the event, Stephenson was named to five Pro Bowls and five All Pro teams from 1983-87. Stephenson, who started 87 games on Miami's offensive line, was named Walter Payton Man of the Year in 1985 and included on the 1980 All-Decade Team.
Jets - Wesley Walker: A two-time Pro Bowler, Walker caught 71 touchdowns despite being legally blind in one eye. He was selected in the second round of the 1977 draft and is recognized as one of the faster wideouts of his time, having recorded a yards-per-reception average of 19 over the course of his 13-year career.
Patriots - Troy Brown: The three-time Super Bowl-winning Brown did it all during his time in New England. Brown was drafted in the eighth round of the 1993 draft and was the team's all-time receptions leader. He spent time as a receiver, cornerback and punt returner and was named an All Pro and Pro Bowler in 2001.
