ESPN’s Todd McShay missing NFL draft because of coronavirus
NFL draft analyst Todd McShay will not take part in ESPN’s coverage of the event this week after testing positive for the coronavirus.
McShay made the announcement on Twitter, writing, “For now, I just want to say I miss you all — my teammates at ESPN who have been incredibly supportive, my friends in the league, and the fans who have made the Draft what it is today.
“I also want to assure you I’ll be back, thanks to the tireless work of healthcare workers and first responders. You are truly our nation’s heroes.”
