NFL Draft to proceed as scheduled despite COVID-19 pandemic, public NFL Draft events canceled

For those Michigan State Football fans who were still hoping to watch Spartan greats like Josiah Scott, Kenny Willekes, and Raequan Williams land in a new home via the NFL Draft in April, you are in luck. The NFL announced today that the NFL Draft will still take place as planned from April 23-25, although the format and broadcast could be seeing some changes due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic.

All the public NFL Draft events that were planned to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada will now be canceled. The NFL says that they are exploring ‘innovative options’ for how the process will be conducted so don’t be shocked if all we see of players is through a live video feed.

Michigan State had seven players participate in the NFL Combine this year. They are:

  • Joe Bachie
  • Brian Lewerke
  • Raequan Williams
  • Cody White
  • Darrell Stewart Jr.
  • Josiah Scott
  • Kenny Willekes
