Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury thinks having a virtual NFL draft this season will help keep things in perspective for everyone involved. Kingsbury knows there are some challenges with the draft this year, but also knows it's nothing compared to the people on the front lines of COVID-19 pandemic relief. This is just football.

As Kingsbury said via Katherine Fitzgerald of AZ Central:

“We're able to watch film … I think there are challenges, but it's nothing compared to what the rest of the world is facing and doctors and nurses and people working at stores — I mean, this is gonna keep things in perspective. It's football.”

Kingsbury said even though there are changes that have to be made, they are still doing the same draft preparations, and there is technology in place that helps everyone communicate remotely.

“[T]here'll be adjustments to be made, but we'll be able to call and text, and for the most part, we're in our houses watching film and doing the same draft prep we do in our office, just without the human interaction.”

There are some concerns from some NFL teams about how the technology work will work. Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is concerned about NFL team's draft data that could be leaked by hackers. Even with all the concerns, it's good to keep in mind what Kingsbury said: This is just football and there are many people going through a lot worse in such a terrible time in history.
