For 259 young men, this week will be the biggest of their lives as NFL franchises have their annual NFL Draft to recruit newly eligible players.
Around eight million people across the US will watch the three-day event which will be staged on the plaza outside of Union Station in Kansas City from April 27 to April 29.
All eyes will be on who gets drafted as the overall first pick by the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, with some of the greatest gridiron players of all-time previously taking the honour. Included in that list have been: OJ Simpson, Peyton Manning, Alex Smith and Cam Newton, with the last three being Travon Walker, Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow.
