You’ve got to hand it to the NFL for three days of names being read off the card in the second-biggest event on the league calendar.
A record 805,000 fans visited the three-day event in Pittsburgh, with a single-day attendance record of 320,000 for Thursday’s first round.

The NFL draft looks set to get even bigger.
