Redskins cancel 30 pre-draft visits with prospects amidst COVID-19 outbreak

In addition to suspending all team travel due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, for the time being, the Washington Redskins are also canceling their 30 pre-draft visits to their facility ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Ahead of the draft, each team is allowed to visit with 30 college prospects in attempts to kick the tires and learn a bit more about the potential NFL players that they may draft. Among the players that the Redskins were planning to meet with were DE Chase Young, QB Joe Burrow, and QB Tua Tagovailoa. That will not happen now, and we are unsure if it will happen in the future.

The NFL has reportedly been weighing a decision on pushing back the league year a couple of weeks in order to get out in front of the COVID-19 outbreak. If they were to do so, events like NFL Free Agency and the NFL Draft would be delayed.
