Episode 4: The NFL Draft - More Than Just a Pick
It’s Draft Day on the Sporting Almanac as Jack and Ben blitz the history of the NFL’s biggest off-field spectacle - from its humble beginnings in a Philadelphia hotel, to its main event status today - throughout war, expansion, relocations and mergers, as it forged dynasties and ended careers all at the same time.
Expect wild stories, big personalities, and sliding door moments that reshaped the league forever. From Hall of Fame careers nearly derailed before they began, to teams gambling it all on a single pick - and often losing - it's a celebration of chaos, hope when all hope seems lost, and the beautiful madness that is the National Football League.
So join Jack and Ben and go deeper into the history of the NFL Draft, the league and the players involved – all on the Sporting Almanac Podcast, your number one pick for sports history.
