Kola Bokinni and Cristo Fernández from Ted Lasso surprised Dolphins fans by announcing a Miami draft pick

Two members of the Ted Lasso cast traded actual football for American football on Saturday as they announced a 2023 NFL Draft pick.

Actors Kola Bokinni (Isaac McAdoo) and Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas) sported Miami Dolphins kits while standing in an empty Tottenham Spurs Stadium as they announced Miami’s selection of Stanford tight end Elijah Higgins. 

As Ted Lasso winds down its final season, fans were likely delighted to see these show stars in a setting where you might not normally expect them to be.

As for Higgins, well, if he’s a Ted Lasso fan, this is a heck of a way to see your draft selection announced on live television.

It’s always fun in the NFL Draft’s later rounds for surprises like this to pop up, and it’s doubly fun for Ted Lasso fans to see two of AFC Richmond’s finest announcing a pick.

While we know Ted Lasso himself is a Kansas City Chiefs fan, this is also a pretty cool moment for the Dolphins.
