The NFL draft is going to be very different as teams, agents, and prospects try to work through a pandemic

Temple center Matt Hennessy expected to meet with a number of NFL teams in preparation for next month’s entry draft.

What Hennessy didn’t foresee was that those visits would take place in his mother’s living room in Bardonia, N.Y., with Hennessy staring into his laptop’s camera.

The league has shut down all team facilities because of the coronavirus pandemic and has forbidden teams from holding their usual 30 prospect visits, which usually are supplemented by visits from local prospects who don’t count toward the 30. Hennessy had planned to meet with Howie Roseman, Doug Pederson, and the Eagles as a local prospect.
