HONOLULU, HAWAII — Petty Officer First Class Bruce Lambert of Riverside assisted in the presentation of players in the NFL Pro Bowl Draft Wednesday night, Jan. 27, in Hawaii, where he is stationed in the United States Coast Guard.

Officer Lambert was introduced to the national audience on ESPN2 by Monday Night Football host Mike Tirico, who noted he was a Green Bay Packers fan despite being from Rhode Island and in the heart of New England Patriots territory.

Officer Lambert posted the names of the NFL All Stars on a board once they were selected during the first half hour of the telecast.

Dallas Cowboy Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, serving as one of the Pro Bowl team captains along with fellow wide receiver great Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers, joked Officer Lambert was like their "Vanna White," a reference to the famed letter turner on Wheel of Fortune.

The Pro Bowl Draft will be rebroadcast on the NFL Network on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 9 p.m. and in the early morning hours of Friday, Jan. 29, at 1 a.m.
