NFL Tells Rookies What Not to Do on Draft Night

The NFL sent a memo to the 58 prospects scheduled to make an appearance on the NFL Draft's virtual broadcast with guidelines of acceptable behavior, clothing and even snacks. The league's main focus was for players not to have any products, brands, or logos that conflict with the league's current sponsorship partners.

The league told players they can only wear NFL Team or official league partner accessories and apparel. It also gave instructions of looking “clean” and prohibits any political statements or references to drugs and gambling according to The Action Networks Darren Rovell.

The players will receive a welcome kit that includes PepsiCo products like Frito-Lay chips and Mars Candy; Pepsi is one of the league's official sponsors.
