The NFL transformed its formal offseason program to a virtual one last spring, and commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged Thursday that might become standard practice going forward.
Goodell, in his annual state-of-the-league speech at Super Bowl 55, said the cancellation of this year's scouting combine was just the start of what could be significant changes to the NFL's offseason.
"Virtual’s going to be part of our life for the long term," Goodell said. "I think we’ve learned and coaches learned and players learned, that it was actually a very positive way to install the offenses and to work in the offseason, so I think we’ll see more of that for sure.
