LSU To Have Three Players Attend NFL Draft In Person

The 2024 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and the Tigers anticipate a few of their stars to have their name called on the first day of the Draft. With the draft being held in Detroit this year, it looks like three LSU Tigers will head to Michigan to enjoy the experience in person.

The 2024 NFL Draft will take place April 25 – 27, 2024.

In 1980, the NFL Draft took its largest step forward into the country’s collective consciousness when it was televised live. Commissioner Pete Rozelle believed that ESPN, a new all-sports cable network, could air the event, but he doubted it would attract spectators.

The NFL Draft did have a viewership. Every year the event has expanded, and the draft has gone from a hotel conference room to the big stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. In 2010, the draft expanded to a three-day schedule, and in 2015 it moved from New York City.

According to Nielsen figures, the 2019 NFL Draft event broke all previous records for the highest-rated and most-watched draft history, drawing an average of 6.1 million viewers across NFL, ESPN, ABC TV, and digital channels, with a combined TV rating of 3.9 households.

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft takes place on April 25. Rounds 2-3 take place on April 26, with Rounds 4–7  on April 27.

It looks like three LSU Tigers who are expected to go in the first round of the NFL Draft have announced they will be in Detroit to hear their name called. LSU Quarterback Jayden Daniels and Wide Receivers Malik Nabors and Brian Thomas Jr.
