A smallish elderly man enters the arena. He goes to the Buccaneers table, picks up their card, and walks spryly to the podium. He taps the microphone before speaking.



"In continuing the theme of central Florida's regional loyalty to the Buccaneers," he says, "I represent the Space Coast. My name is Frank Borman, and I am America's oldest living astronaut. You may remember me from such missions as Apollo 8 and Gemini VII."



"I am one of the second group of astronauts selected by NASA. You may know of the Mercury Seven as the first group, and I'm part of the group known as the Next Nine, which features such luminaries as Neil Armstrong, Jim Lovell, Pete Conrad, John Young, and others."



"One of the requirements to be part of the Next Nine was that you had to be under 6 feet tall. Height was a disadvantage in the space vehicles. So we proved that shorter people can be very successful in challenging endeavors. We expect that the next Buccaneer will also prove this."

"With the 116th pick in the 2020 NFL draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech."

With that, the 92 year-old Borman dons a personal jet pack and flies out of the arena.
