The NFL draft has always been quite the spectacle. There have been movies made about it (2014’s “Draft Day,” starring Kevin Costner, is so bad it’s almost good) and the second the NFL season ends the media coverage of it is relentless. Especially in the age of social media and smartphones, anytime a prospect meets with anyone or does anything of note, you hear about it immediately.
But even 30 years ago, the draft was still an absolute whirlwind for the prospects. Take former Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro LB Chad Brown for example. Brown was a prospect in the 1993 NFL Draft, and recently talked about his draft experience on the Greenie podcast.
