This NFL Draft, HEINZ is putting its most iconic number on the clock and turning the 57th pick into a moment of its own, introducing "Mr. 57."

To celebrate the monumental moment, HEINZ is teaming up with NFL legend and former 57^th Draft pick, Devin Hester, to officially welcome the inaugural "Mr. 57." The honoree will receive a custom "Mr. 57" jacket, a lifetime supply of HEINZ Ketchup and the opportunity to partner with HEINZ—cementing their place in a new kind of Draft legacy.

"As a former 57^th pick, I know firsthand how much that number can mean," said Devin Hester. "HEINZ has turned ‘57' into an icon through its own legacy, and it's powerful to see that same number elevated on one of the biggest nights in football. Hearing your name called on Draft day is a moment you carry for life, so it's an honor to welcome the first ‘Mr. 57' into the club and help launch a new tradition that recognizes the legendary players who make their mark on the game."

As the first activation of Kraft Heinz's newly minted partnership with the NFL, HEINZ is bringing the moment to fans nationwide. When the 57^th pick is on the clock, fans can unlock $25 off their Uber Eats order from select restaurants* across the country—turning one pick into a celebration. From chicken fingers and fries to take the edge off Draft day nerves to a celebratory cheeseburger when your team makes its move, HEINZ is there to make every bite better—and to remind football fans everywhere: when it comes to ketchup, "It Has To Be HEINZ."

"This year marks 157 years where HEINZ has been food's best friend and fans' go-to for game-day favorites—bringing iconic flavor to everything from burgers and fries to stadium snacks," said Jamie Mack, Associate Director of Brand Communications for HEINZ U.S. "With the Draft in our hometown this year, we knew it was the right moment to go bigger than ever. All week long, we're painting the city red and showing up for fans in fresh, unforgettable ways—celebrating ‘57,' the number that has defined our brand for more than a century."

And in HEINZ's hometown, the brand is going all in. A citywide takeover will span more than 150 billboards from Pittsburgh International Airport to hotspots near Acrisure Stadium, capped by a barge presence on the river. At Taste of Pittsburgh at Draft Experience, fans can step into the world of HEINZ with sauce stations stocked with a variety of HEINZ condiments, photo moments, exclusive merchandise and more—all building toward the crowning of the first-ever "Mr. 57."
