NFL Draft: How to Watch and What to Expect

Unprecedented times call for unique measures. Tonight the NFL will roll out something never quite seen before, live and virtual, NFL Draft.

The biggest night of many young players lives lies in the hands of the internet gods. Due to COVID-19, the NFL has taken preventive measures to ensure the safety of everyone involved; the team staff, NFL officials, and athletes will be recorded from their individual homes. Cameras were sent to 58 prospects home to catch their initial reaction.

Initially, the 2020 NFL Draft was going to be held in Las Vegas; supposedly, there was even a boat involved. But tonight's excitement lies in whether technology will hold up its end of the bargain and provide fans and teams a 'hack-free' draft.

Roger Goodell will still be at the helm announcing each player.
