There are few NFL traditions quite like Roger Goodell getting booed whenever he takes the stage during the draft. Fans booing the league’s commissioner was even made a part of last year’s virtual event.
The draft is returning to a more traditional setting in 2021, however, which also means that Goodell getting booed live will make its glorious comeback as well — at least in part. Fans of the New England Patriots, after all, will have no reason to voice their displeasure with him early on during the college player selection event: Goodell will not announce the team’s first few picks this year.
