Covid-19's Impact on The NFL Draft And Beyond:

As of right now, the nfl has not postponed any pr?

Season or regular season games and thursday's draft will go ahead as originally scheduled though it will be done virtually.

I spoke with memorial head coach john hurley and mater dei head coach mike goebel about what they are anticipating.

I think the biggest challenge for them is the lack of face to face contact to do the interviews to get a feel for one's personality.

But as far as not knowing or not having information, i don't think that will be an issue for them.

I think it's going to be perhaps the most widely watched draft maybe of all time, if they can figure out how to send it to all the people who are interested.

I think there's a real desire for people to follow up with something along sports.

With the mlb, nba, and nhl seasons and other sports currently on hold, there is question as to whether or not the nfl could be next and if so, what impacts could the pandemic have on the college and high school football seasons.

For us, i don't anticipate us having any summer workouts and i would be surprised if we had any kind of workouts before school actually started.

Were preparing right now as best we can, we're doing zoom meetings and setting up at home workouts and we're trying to stay in contact and i think the boys are all biting at the bit tp try to get back together and get ready for the fall.

For the moment, the high school football season is scheduled to begin in late august, however there needs to be improvements in circumstance s regarding the pandemic in order to have a season with fans in attendance.

A lot of it has to do with confidence and people being confident that there's a way to mitigate this virus and whether that's a vaccine or having some kind of antibody test or something along those lines.
