The 2020 NFL Draft will be like no other, thanks to league and government restrictions put in place to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The league has cancelled all public events set to take place in Las Vegas, and instead, this year’s draft will be a completely virtual experience.
That won’t stop this year’s top prospects from getting their chance to shine, though. The league will have more than 50 of this year’s best players involved in their virtual draft experience:

The full list of virtual draft participants will be announced on NFL Network’s “Path to the Draft” show, Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
