Says the NFL Network: We will not show a draftee on the phone in the Green Room prior to the pick on the first night of the NFL Draft.

And says ESPN: We will not show a draftee on the phone in the Green Room prior to the pick on the first night of the NFL Draft.

NFLN will not show green room prospects on phone 1st nite of draft. Now, let's work on teams NOT tweeting out their picks b4 announcement

I don't like it. One of my favorite parts is seeing the shots of the players on the phone or in their living room with family members jumping, etc.

This is stupid though... I like to see the players on the phone seeing their lifelong dream come to fruition.

Aside from that, how do we, as fans, know who's on the other end of the phone? It has to be announced regardless. What does seeing them on the phone reveal us aside from emotion and confirmation that they're going to be picked?

      Who do you despise more… LaMelo Ball or Bryce Young

      Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

      Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
