NEW YORK - There were no glitches or cyber attacks during the first round of the"virtual" National Football League Draft on Thursday , but neither was there much of the raw emotion or energy that usually lights up the league's biggest off-season bash.
"I do believe this will be the most memorable draft we have ever had," said Goodell, adding he was certain things would not go as planned. But social distancing gave the entire evening a detached sterile feel that failed to generate the usual energy. Goodell tried to put a historic spin on the evening, opening the programme by proclaiming it the"first ever NFL virtual draft" while host Trey Wingo went even further describing it as"one of the greatest spectacles in all of sports".
The signature moments of the draft are top picks hearing their names called, then appearing on stage for a hug with Goodell, who gives them a team jersey and ball cap.
