NFL Draft: What was the record number of people watching the first round?

The NFL Draft went virtual. And with everyone virtually staying safe and staying home, it led to a record viewing audience for Thursday’s first round.

How about 15.6 million tuned in to watch Joe Burrow go first to the Cincinnati Bengals and Clyde Edwards-Helaire — LSU bookends — close out the first round?

NFL says 15.6M viewers for the Draft’s first round last night, breaking previous high of 12.4M (2014). Also 7M on the streaming Draft-A-Thon.
