COVID-19 may have changed just about every aspect of our lives, but one of the ways in which we maintain sanity is by maintaining some old habits. Or more likely, we further indulge in bad habits of pre-pandemic times like cycling through the same four or five social media apps before moving from the bed to the couch and restarting the process with a snack.
We are incredibly fortunate that a few remnants of our sports culture have persisted through the COVID-19 pandemic. Chief among them, the NFL draft is set to take place April […]
