ESPN and NFL Network are reportedly considering producing a combined broadcast for the 2020 NFL draft amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Peter King of NBC Sports reported there is "momentum building" toward doing the broadcast out of ESPN's Bristol, Connecticut, studios, which would see talent from both networks share the screen. NFL Network's studios in Culver City, California, and Mount Laurel, New Jersey, are currently closed as a result of those respective states' shutdowns.

ABC is planning a separate broadcast for the draft that would not be affected by ESPN or NFL Network.
