Video interviews with Steelers NFL draft prospects to begin this week

It’s a brave new world for the NFL when it comes to their preparations for the 2020 NFL draft. Every team has been forced to practice draft prep by social distancing this time around with nearly all pro days canceled and no teams allowed to bring in prospects for pre-draft meetings thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This has forced teams to turn to video interviews with draft prospects in order to get a final round of evaluation before spending a pick on them. According to Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert, their video meetings will begin this Thursday.

The 2020 NFL draft is set for April 23-25. Pittsburgh doesn’t currently hold a first-round pick. This only ups the stakes for hitting big on those mid-round picks.
