One of the things that broke the media world last week via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media was that the EA Sports, the company that makes Madden, is going to create some virtual meetings with all of the first-round picks and Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner. As of right now, there is not a specific plan, but the two sides have rumored that they are talking it over.
These are all rumors, but the EA Sports franchise came out and said they have had talks with the NFL but nothing is set in stone for this year’s NFL Draft, this is the rumor that broke. Nothing has even resulted into meetings yet either.
“While we continue to work closely with the NFL on how we could support this year’s NFL Draft, the plans that have been rumored in recent reports are untrue. We don’t typically respond to rumors, but we don’t want fans to be misled,” the statement from EA Sports stated.
