0:00It's April 27. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. Pittsburgh saw massive crowds pour in for the NFL draft this Thursday, smashing attendance records left and right. Merchandise sales also hit an all-time high over the weekend, topping the mark set last year in Green Bay, though the league kept exact numbers under. Reps. Raiders fans went wild as their team snagged the number one overall pick, Indiana Quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, the latest Heisman winner who just guided the Hoosiers to a national title. Mendoza skipped the Pittsburgh spotlight, opting to celebrate that huge moment back home in Miami with his family. Next spring, the draft heads to Washington, D.C. for its modern era debut on the national mall, echoing a one-off event there back in 1940.
