'It's still the NFL Draft,' but coronavirus dims local prospects' big moment

INDIANAPOLIS — Jeremy Chinn’s family had the biggest night of his life all planned, set it up back in February.

A room at the Ironworks Hotel on the north side of Indianapolis, packed with food and family, friends from his days at Fishers High School, plus his Southern Illinois coaches and teammates. A draft party, ready to celebrate as soon as Chinn got a phone call from a team and watched his name flash across the NFL Draft broadcast.

The coronavirus pandemic changed those plans.
