2017 NFL Draft to be held on Philadelphia Museum of Art steps

The 2017 NFL Draft is officially coming to Philadelphia, the league and city announced Thursday in a joint press conference with the Eagles.

As NJ Advance Media first reported last month, the NFL Draft will be held from April 27-29 on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, returning to the City of Brotherly Love.

"Philadelphia is a passionate football town and will serve as a tremendous backdrop for the Draft and provide a great atmosphere for our fans and incoming players," Goodell said Thursday, via NFL.
