Reports: Chicago will host NFL Draft for second straight year

The NFL apparently liked what it saw in the Windy City this spring.

League commissioner Roger Goodell and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel will hold a press conference Tuesday afternoon to announce the NFL Draft again will be held in Chicago in 2016, NFL Network’s Steve Wyche reported Tuesday. The draft will be held from April 28 to April 30, according to ESPN.

The Auditorium Theater in Chicago was the site this spring of the first NFL draft held outside New York since 1964. The event traditionally has been held at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan.
