Commissioner Roger Goodell made multiple appearances at the podium during last night’s NFL Draft opening round. Despite undergoing back surgery about three weeks ago as reported by ESPN, he has recuperated well but noticeably steered clear of his customary intense embraces with drafted athletes, opting for a more subdued approach when approached by them on stage.
The Tennessee Titans bolstered their offense line early in the game, selecting JC Latham as seventh overall pick. After being joined by loved ones and friends backstage, Lantham headed towards Goodell to receive his team’s hat before embracing him tightly – unaware of the commissioner’s recent spinal procedure, resulting in both men leaving the stage due to their joint elevation mid-hug! This particular action inspired enthusiasts online, many documenting their humorous perceptions and feedback via social media.
Out of a pool of 13 prospective attendees invited by the NFL for this year’s draft ceremony in Detroit – which is currently underway – only those selected during round one were present at last night’s event. The second, third rounds are scheduled to continue tonight whilst closing sessions commence on Saturday as the complete first round pick announcements are disclosed amidst an exciting and highly anticipated atmosphere!
