Get ready, Washington, D.C., because the NFL Draft could be coming to the city soon.
The nation’s capital is one of three finalists to host the 2024 NFL Draft, along with Detroit and Green Bay, according to Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy, who broke the news on Wednesday. He’d been asked if the city of Green Bay had heard any update about potentially hosting the annual April event.
“We’re one of three finalists for the 2024 Draft,” Murphy said. “It’s Detroit, Washington, D.C. and Green Bay.”
Murphy has connections to Washington, too. He played safety for the then-Redskins from 1977 to 1984 and had an interception in Washington’s Super Bowl XVII victory over the Miami Dolphins.
