Many moments throughout an NFL season grasp fans and pull them from their daily lives: Waking up on Sundays to reserve a favorite spot on the couch before the big game, or racing home from work on Monday and Thursday to wrap up the Honey-Do’s and settle down the house, or just chuckling quietly but knowingly at the sight of “28-3”.
One of my favorite yearly traditions is the NFL Draft. My memories fall to my childhood, to being ecstatic to come home from school, to watch the draft — and to immediately fire up Madden to play a game with the lineup we’d just drafted.
