Could the 2027 NFL Draft actually draw a million fans?

It was announced earlier this week that the 2027 NFL Draft will be staged on the National Mall in Washington D.C. With the event being staged in such a large open space, it opens up a new world of possibilities; especially in regards to attendance.

The big talk has already started, with Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris stating: "I believe we'll get over a million people."

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell feels the same way.

"We believe we'll have well over a million people when we come here," the Commish proclaimed.

Is this possible?
