Despite all the changes occurring in response to the coronavirus, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has a positive mindset going into the 2020 draft, via Peter King of NBC Sports:
"I believe that this draft in particular is about hope. It restores hope for every fan, for every club, for the teams itself in the sense of, 'We have new players coming in. We have new hope. This can turn us around. This can be the answer to get us to the Super Bowl.' Those things I think are really critical in our game, but beyond that I really believe that football does a great job of bringing communities back together again, and giving them a diversion at a time when people are really looking for something positive and looking toward the future, and looking to be inspired.
