As an official sponsor of the NFL, Pizza Hut is pulling out all the stops for the 2018 NFL Draft. Not only has the brand enlisted wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster as their red-carpet social media correspondent, they plan on celebrating the 78th overall pick — the 14th pick of the draft's third round, which they're calling the "Pi Pick" (3.14) — with a pizza party as well as free pizza for a year.

According to a press release from the brand, Smith-Schuster will also be their "Doorbell Dance Ambassador," meaning that he will reveal all the ways he celebrates when his doorbell rings to signify his Pizza Hut delivery. Smith-Schuster will also ask for "Doorbell Dance" fan submissions through Instagram. The winner will receive a trip to an NFL regular season game of their choice. According to the release, "fans can submit their Doorbell Dance on Instagram April 26-28, tagging @PizzaHut, #PizzaHutHut and #sweepstakes."

The lucky 78th pick of the draft will win free pizza for a year, plus an invitation to a pizza party in his honor in the hometown that selects him.

According to ESPN Sports business reporter Darren Rovell, the Chiefs currently hold the pick.
