The league announced Monday that more than 600,000 people attended the draft over the three days in the city — surpassing the 250,000 who watched the draft in Philadelphia two years ago.
According to Nielsen, the three-day television broadcast also averaged 6.1 million viewers at any given time across ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network. That’s up from last year’s 5.5 million average.
