ESPN experiences technical difficulties while discussing potential NFL Draft communication issues

The 2020 NFL Draft will be held virtually this week, as the COVID-19 pandemic makes gathering in huge groups dangerous to public health.

With 32 teams communicating virtually during the draft, there are opportunities for all sorts of mishaps and technical errors.

On Wednesday, when SportsCenter host Matt Barrie was asking reporter Dianna Russini about those potential technical difficulties, well, they had some communication problems of their own:

Russini had a sense of humor about the difficulties, tweeting this out in response to Barrie’s video:

Let’s hope we don’t see any mistakes like that when teams are trying to select players this weekend!
