The 2022 NFL Draft comments on Thursday, Apr. 28.
“On ESPN, NFL senior Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. and analyst Louis Riddick, a 1991 NFL Draft selectee, will be on through the duration of the Draft, with fellow analyst Booger McFarland, a first round pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, joining for the first two nights,” the network announced. “Mike Greenberg will host ESPN’s coverage for the first two nights, his second consecutive year in the role. Senior NFL insider Chris Mortensen will report on the news while Adam Schefter will miss this year’s NFL Draft to attend his son’s college graduation.”
Kiper will be a primetime commentator on ESPN’s coverage, but he won’t be on set.
The longtime NFL Draft analyst revealed on Monday that he hasn’t gotten vaccinated for COVID-19. He’ll be participating virtually, as a result.
