The 2020 NFL Draft is nearing and it will be an unprecedented one due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

According to Lawrence Tynes, the league is exploring the possibility of playing without fans in attendance, and is seeking advice from teams such as the Dolphins, Buccaneers, Jaguars, Bengals and Chargers, franchises with notoriously low attendance numbers.
