It’s safe to say that the 2020 league year will be unlike any the NFL has ever seen before. The COVID-19 pandemic has already left its mark on the early stages of the offseason, with team facilities shut down, travel banned, relying on local physicals for free agents and FaceTiming with draft prospects. Pro Day? Not happening. The draft? It will be in a studio.
That’s what we currently know. What we don’t yet know is how much more will be affected beyond that, but it feels safe to guess that its reach will go beyond the draft as a tentpole, perhaps far beyond.
