The 2020 NFL draft is set to begin on Thursday. But this year's event will look drastically different than many past NFL drafts.
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, this year's event will be entirely virtual.
The draft telecast will instead be held at ESPN's studio in Bristol, Conn., and a limited number of hosts will adhere to social distancing guidelines at the network. Other draft analysts will contribute to the broadcasts remotely, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will announce draft picks from his home. Personnel from each NFL team will conduct the draft from their homes as well.
