NFL Draft 2012: List Of Players Attending

Every year at the NFL Draft in New York City, a group of players predicted to go in the first round are invited to attend. Most of the players usually show though there are always a few who do not.

It can be embarrassing if a player shows up and is not taken on the first night. Nobody wants to be sitting alone back stage.

Arrowhead Addict was on hand in 2010 when the Chiefs selected Eric Berry. Berry was in attendance and we talked with him on the red carpet before he became a Chief.

Last year, though AA was was present in Radio City Music Hall, Jonathan Baldwin was not.

This year I figured since the Chiefs were picking 11th that it was almost a lock that KC’s pick would be there. Well, that may not be the case. The NFL has released the full list of players expected to attend. Check it out.
