On the same day where the Detroit Lions were chosen as the subject for the 2022 season of Hard Knocks, the team also won the competition to host the 2024 NFL draft.
The NFL announced the decision during the annual owner’s meeting in Palm Beach. Detroit was previously known as one of three finalists to host the draft, which has rotated around various cities since leaving the longtime home in New York City for the 2015 event.
The 2022 draft will take place next month in Las Vegas. Kansas City previously was announced as the host of the 2023 draft.
Exact logistical details are not yet solidified, but early indications are the draft itself will be held outdoors at Campus Emeritus Park.
The pick is IN‼️
