NFL coaches, officials pessimistic about 2020 season starting on time over coronavirus: report
As coronavirus worsens, NFL officials begin to doubt the 2020 season will begin on time.
The 2020 NFL Draft is still set to take place despite the coronavirus pandemic affecting the entire sports world.
The NFL originally had planned to have the draft in Las Vegas with the entire Strip being on display as the football world focused on the cream of the college football crop.
The league plans to hold the selection process in a studio setting instead of having the players up on a stage to shake NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s hand or give him a chest bump.
Here is what you need to know about the 2020 NFL Draft.
