NFL Teams Concerned About Possible Communications Being Intercepted During ‘Virtual’ Draft

More than ever before, technology will be center stage during next week’s NFL Draft, which will commence a week from today. And more than ever before, security risks are a very real concern that are shared throughout the league.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not exactly immune to paranoia.
