NFL Draft Rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick Jr |
The NFL draft kicks off, and while millions of beer-guzzling Americans will tune in to see who their favorite team takes, the off-field stakes are similarly high. There will be no shortage of articles ranking the best looks from the draft, but what players wear have implications that go way beyond their ambitions to be style icons.
Draft night fashion and style has become as big a part of the draft week process as anything for these prospects. These pictures of them on stage, holding up their new jersey, will be something they will want to keep forever and will be their first impression on their team’s fanbase, so they want to make sure they’re looking right, from head to toe. With team interviews and workouts pretty much over, draft week is all about media obligations and fine-tuning their look for the big day.
