Ted Lasso actors announce Miami Dolphins NFL Draft pick from London

Ted Lasso characters gave NFL Draft announcement from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The two actors revealed the pick live from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. They do some quick banter.

“We know a thing or two about football,” Fernandez said. Then Bokinni corrected him. “No, this is American football.”

That perplexed Fernandez, who added: “So we have no idea what we’re doing here, but we’re having a lot of fun.”

Then the Ted Lasso characters announce the NFL Draft pick as the pair provided a quick “Go Dolphins” and then a “Fins Up.” Yes, football is life whether it’s the American version or the type they play everywhere else.

It makes sense that Ted Lasso and the NFL Draft would do a mini-crossover. Let us explain. Jason Sudeikis, who plays the good-guy lead character, grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, which isn’t too far from where the NFL is conducting its draft in Kansas City. Plus, on the show, Ted grew up in Kansas and talks about his home state a ton. And, he got to London because of his motivational skills in coaching American football.

If you watch the show carefully, you’ll see that Ted Lasso gives props to Kansas City’s Arthur Bryant Barbecue. You can see photos of the BBQ spot on Lasso’s laptop.
