The nature of the NFL offseason has, understandably and for obvious reasons, changed over the course of the past two years, mostly in some minor yet significant ways. Due to the pandemic, the league was forced to adapt quickly. While they were able to get the Combine in, pre-draft interviews and Pro Days were out the door.
In came Zoom interviews with players, and there were far fewer limitations with those than with other means of communicating with prospects leading up to the draft. Zoom meetings have remained even though COVID-related restrictions have greatly reduced in the past two years, and figure to be a regular fixture from this point forward.
