NFL cancels pre-draft visits, prohibits campus stops by scouts, coaches due to coronavirus pandemic

The NFL sent a memo to all 32 teams Friday prohibiting the hosting of draft prospects and stopping all travel by club personnel to college campuses.

The decision was made after the league consulted with Dr. Allen Sills, their chief medical officer, and medical experts regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The start of the league year remains scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday and the draft is still April 23-25.

Each team is usually allowed 30 pre-draft visits. Prospects can’t be put through an on-field workout, but can have a physical examination and also meet with team officials.
