One thing is for sure, the 2020 NFL Draft process has been much different this year and it will continue to be different until the draft is completed.
In a normal draft cycle, NFL teams have face-to-face meetings with prospects as they try to find out as much as they possibly can about each player before potentially drafting them.
This year, NFL teams, including the Detroit Lions have been holding virtual interviews with draft prospects, including one with Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa.
According to reports, the Lions have also had virtual interviews with Mississippi State CB Cameron Dantzler, App State RB Darrynton Evans, and Michigan OG Michael Onwenu.
#AppSt RB Darrynton Evans had formal interviews with the #Colts, #Rams at the combine. He visited with the #Titans pre-quarantine. He also mentioned 16 other teams with whom he's had virtual interviews: BUF, SF, ATL, LAC, JAC, HOU, DAL, PIT, PHI, KC, TB, NYJ, ARI, CHI, DET & DEN.

It should be extremely interesting to see how the ‘Virtual’ NFL Draft plays out beginning on April 23.
