Wale to host Redskins virtual draft party

The Washington Redskins teased a huge announcement Wednesday. It turned out to be for their draft party.

Musical artist Wale will host the Redskins‘ virtual draft party next week when the team holds the event on Saturday, April 26. Washington had previously announced its plans to host a draft party with special appearances by coach Ron Rivera, executive Kyle Smith and quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

Now, Wale, a diehard Redskins fan and District native, will join the Redskins‘ crew when the event begins.

“Football has always been a part of my life, as a player and a fan,” Wale said in a statement.
