LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2016 – FOX Sports Radio announced today it will provide multi-platform coverage of the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, live from Chicago on Thursday, April 28, beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET 

The network’s 16th annual draft coverage will be available on more than 400 radio stations across the country, as well as the FOX Sports Radio channel on iHeartRadio and www.FOXSportsRadio.com.  In addition, a live video simulcast will be available on Facebook via FOX Sports and NFL on FOX.    

FOX Sports Radio’s coverage of the NFL Draft, the league’s marquee offseason event, will be led by the industry’s preeminent information man, FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer, who utilizes his unrivaled rolodex to provide breaking news and insight on all of the latest wheeling, dealing and rumors.  Last year, Glazer correctly predicted all 32 picks in the draft.

Glazer will be joined by FS1 NFL reporter Peter Schrager and lead college football/draft analyst Joel Klatt, who will deliver interviews, reactions, as well as unique perspectives from conversations held with coaches and personnel executives. 

“The NFL Draft on FOX Sports Radio has been my favorite day of the offseason every year, because it allows me to unload all this inside information I compile in the months and weeks leading up to it,” shared Glazer. “It’s just as much fun for me as it is for the fans. Last year, we were fortunate enough to have better insight as far as 10 picks out than everyone else!  I hope our next president makes NFL draft day a holiday (I'm only partly kidding).”

Other content elements will be posted to FOX Sports Radio’s Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as FOX Sports’ Twitter and Facebook, throughout the week.
