As the coronavirus outbreak continues to wreak havoc on day-to-day life, NFL Draft prospects are trying to figure out how to stay prepared.
Obviously, that’s not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, as people’s health is much more important, but it’s still a hectic time in draft prospects’ lives.
On Tuesday, potential No. 1 draft pick Joe Burrow joined Coach K on SiriusXM radio and explained how his preparations have been affected by the virus outbreak:

“I mean, everything is up in the air right now,” Burrow said. “I’m trying to figure out — I’m out in California right now, training. I’m trying to figure out if I have to go home, if I’m staying here longer, but I’m in a temporary place. So, if there’s a quarantine or a travel ban or something, I might be stuck out here. So I’m trying to figure all this out and, at the same time, trying to get ready to play my first year. So I’m still trying to find places to workout and still trying to find, you know, weights to work out with. It’s a pretty stressful time in everyone’s lives.”
Even with the quarantines, Burrow will likely go No. 1 overall. It’s other guys who aren’t so secure in their draft position that this outbreak is affecting more.
