By now, as you know, the NFL Draft is a massive spectacle.
A red carpet walk. Flashing lights on a massive stage being aired across multiple TV networks. Incredible suits. There’s nothing like it.
But it’s the green room — where top prospects gather with their families– that tops the football extravaganza.
Usually, players invited to the green room are those expected to come off the board early. This can get awkward when a player doesn’t get drafted as early as they expected. When they’re the last man standing — as the camera keeps panning over to them talking to someone on the phone — you can’t help but feel bad for them.
