The NFL Draft 2023 is just around the corner, and many fans are looking for the said event. Whether you are experiencing the draft for the first time or not, you should consider making this year’s draft something you will remember.
One way to do it is to make the 2023 NFL Draft fun and exciting. So, consider doing these five fun ways and make the most of your NFL draft experience this year.
Participate in Draft Games
One of the highlights of the NFL Draft is the NFL draft games which you should experience during the event. Fans love creating games out of the NFL Draft event that you can participate in to enhance your draft experience.
Whether you are a first-timer or not, watching at home or in the location, playing a draft game as you wait for each pick to be named will help you make the most out of the moment. If you are rooting for someone to be drafted, playing a game could help you decrease your anxiety.
You can play a game that you and your friends created or copy one from the game suggestions you can find online, such as the following:
- Rate the Pose. This game is simple. You will need to rate the player’s pose from 1 to 10 as they are being shown in the camera while at home or in the green room. You can base the rate according to the player’s awkwardness, size, etc. This NFL game was suggested by Bleacher Report way back in 2008 but is still a great game suggestion to play today.
- Penalty Flag. Another game invented by Bleacher Report is the Penalty Flag. It is a game where you choose an event that each individual will repetitively do at your party. For example, you can assign a penalty for a mispronunciation, trade, etc. You can think of different penalties for each event.
You can try to recreate the suggested games and add some of your own. Be creative and make the 2023 NFL Draft a memorable event.
Bet Against Your Peers
Aside from playing a game from the NFL Draft event, you can also make bets against your friends. The NFL Draft is another sporting event that can bring you significant winnings. What you will need to do is to decide what type of bet you are going for.
