NFL fans were in for a surprise when they tuned into the 2023 Draft on ABC on Thursday night. In the midst of trade talks and Green Bay’s pick at No. 13, ABC inexplicably cut to the Jonas Brothers at the desk for some conversation and analysis.

Instead of discussing the Packers taking Iowa linebacker Lukas Van Ness, Kirk Herbstreit and the College GameDay crew interviewed Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas about their upcoming tour and other topics.
While the Jo Bros. are a wildly popular group that have sold over five million copies of their hit records throughout their career, that didn’t matter to the fans tuning in to hear about their teams picks.
The biggest reach in the #NFLDraft has been ABC having the Jonas Brothers on to talk touring while trades are going on

Do I really have to watch the interviewers ask horribly staged questions like "so do you have any travel plans coming up?" to the Jonas brothers?

“The Green Bay Packers are on the clock, but coming up, THE JONAS BROTHERS”
I want to see the Venn diagram of people watching the NFL draft and those who are clamoring for the new JB single.

Say what you want about the #Texans getting picks at 2 and 3 or the #Lions taking a running back at 12, I was not expecting the Jonas Brothers on the set breaking down picks on ABC. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/t8S2EwSXyg
