It wasn’t so long ago that people were saying that, surely, it was too early for the NFL to do anything about the NFL Draft. It’s so far away, right? And the offseason program? Forget about it.

The NFL and NFLPA have decided to take a different approach. Both parties just issued a joint statement announcing that offseason programs will now be “delayed indefinitely” in response to the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus that is still expanding in and around the United States.
