ESPN analyst has harsh words about the NFL and the draft

Typically, ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter is upbeat and positive in doing his insider reports on all things NFL. But it seems quarantine might be getting to Schefter a little bit. Schefter showed up on ESPN and let himself go a little bit with his concerns about the NFL season starting on time.

Schefter vented bigtime about the NFL season. “OTAs, that’s not happening. The offseason program? That’s not happening. The draft is happening only through the sheer will, force and determination and lack of foresight,” Schefter said. “They are determined to put this on while there is carnage in the streets.”

Wow.

To see Schefter lose his cool like that was really something. It just illustrates just how challenging this whole situation is for everyone involved and how divided everyone connected to the NFL season can be. Clearly, Schefter isn’t banking on the season starting on time and he feels very strongly against the NFL choosing not to push the draft back.
