The NFL draft still is set to take place as scheduled later this month, but it will be “fully virtual.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a memo yesterday (Monday) telling teams that coaches, general managers and other team personnel will operate separately from their own homes.
The league told teams in March to shut down their facilities but previously kept open the possibility that organizations might be able to have employees in the same place together for the draft.
That has now changed with Goodell saying “All clubs will not have access to their facilities, which is contrary to the fundamental equity principle that all clubs operate in a consistent and fair way.”
