We've almost made it. The 2017 NFL Draft is just two weeks away, which means teams are in the process of finalizing their plans. And now, we know who will be there in Philadelphia to experience the madness firsthand.
On Thursday, the 22 prospects who will attend the draft were announced by the NFL. Among those 22 are quarterbacks Mitchell Trubisky, Deshaun Watson, and DeShone Kizer.
Just a reminder, before we get to the actual list: Don't do this.
Criticizing a prospect for not attending the NFL Draft has become the annual low point of this process. So silly. #TwoMoreWeeks
