ABC and ESPN NFL Draft Prospect Graphics Include Incredibly Personal Information No One Asked for

ESPN has, for the most part, done a great job with the NFL Draft given the tough circumstances of the virtual format. There have been no major blunders other than a few funny look-ins at coaches and front office executives.

The only bizarre part is the fact Trey Wingo routinely shares tragic moments from the lives of the players selected. Some of it seems inappropriate and invasive and graphics have consistently shared irrelevant information.

It seems odd to bring up the worst events from someone's life during what is supposed to be the best moment of their athletic careers to this point.

There have been mentions of tragic deaths and illnesses that don't have anything to do with football. Even in the rare occasions that ESPN sticks to sports (as much as we hate that phrase), it's not overwhelmingly positive. Just ask new Chief Willie Gay, Jr.

ESPN needs to fill more airtime with players not walking to the stage, but talking about a prospect's parents dying doesn't seem appropriate. This seems to be part of the content strategy, but we can only hope the network drops the doom and gloom during Saturday's broadcast.
