MUNCIE, Ind. - Although Muncie’s Draft Day Tailgate event at Canan Commons didn't have blue skies, there was a sea of blue and white on the ground to celebrate the Colts anyways.

Hundreds came out for the event to celebrate the Indianapolis Colts on the day of the 2019 NFL Draft, and as part of that, one of the Colts' draft picks which was announced live from downtown Muncie.

Former Colts player Bill Brooks announced that the Colts would be taking Mississippi State offensive linebacker Gerri Green.

Muncie got the honor of making a second draft pick.

After technical difficulties left the Baltimore Ravens needing a place to make their sixth draft round pick, Ball State's football team got a chance to take the national spotlight and announce one of their picks before the Colts pick.

The event had a historical background too.

Muncie is one of 13 communities that were home to the 14 teams of the league's inaugural season, and the NFL is honoring those communities as part of its “NFL 100” centennial celebration.

The Muncie Flyers, known as the Congerville Flyers outside of their NFL involvement, were one of the founding teams of the American Professional Football Association, which later became the NFL.
