Trump to announce NFL Draft's DC destination: reports

A new report says that the Pittsburgh Steelers wouldn’t draft Shedeur Sanders "at any point". Colin Cowherd discusses the biggest reasons for Sanders’ fall in the draft and why the Steelers didn’t take him.

The Washington Commanders will reportedly host the 2027 NFL Draft in Washington, D.C., as the organization gears up to build a new stadium in the nation’s capital.

President Donald Trump is expected to make the announcement on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Commanders team owner Josh Harris had thought of bringing the draft to the National Mall at least once over the next few years. He revealed his dream in August as he worked on securing the old RFK Stadium site as the team’s new home.

"Think about the idea of having — and I’m not breaking news here, it’s not done yet — but think about a draft on the Mall, and how exciting that would be, for the city of Washington, for the NFL," Harris said at the time. "Everyone sees that, and obviously there’s a lot of complexity to it with the Park Service ... but I believe it will happen, and it’s a question of when."

It appears the dream is closer to reality.
