The NFL announced today that the 2024 NFL Draft will be held in Detroit. Although we wish it was still in New York every year where it belongs. If the Thanksgiving day games don’t rotate from Detroit and Dallas, the draft should rotate either. But I digress, here is the full press release from the NFL.<\/p>\n
