NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As Amy Adams Strunk said while Music City made its push to host an NFL Draft, Nashville knows how to throw a party.
It’ll be a biggie come April 25-27, 2019.
No league has done better work making itself a year-round story. It’s quite remarkable that outside of an August-to-February preseason and season the NFL has created window after window of happenings. It’s even more noteworthy that all of them are positive, filled with hope.
The combine in late February is the first official look at draft prospects. Free-agency in March brings new talent to most teams. April’s draft was the second biggest NFL TV event to the Super Bowl in 2017. May brings rookie camps and OTAs. June brings minicamps. Only mid-June to mid-July is “dark,” and it helps build anticipation for the start of training camps.
And anticipation is the keyword in Nashville.
The uniform unveil on April 4 was a giant event, but the buildup to it was giant.
