ANNOUNCEMENTS
The 2020 NFL Draft will still proceed as scheduled April 23-25, with the selection process televised but without public draft events taking place. The decision was made with guidance from such medical experts as the CDC, the NFL explained. “This decision reflects our foremost priority — the health and safety of all fans and citizens,” said Commissioner Goodell. “While this outcome is disappointing both to the NFL and to the Las Vegas community, we look forward to partnering with the Raiders, the City of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for a future NFL Draft as well as evaluating opportunities for other major NFL events in Las Vegas in the future, including the Super Bowl.”
