Boise State’s Curtis Weaver has no problem missing out on the NFL Draft’s fancy suits and décor or the boos for commissioner Roger Goodell. He doesn’t care where he’ll be or what his draft day experience will look like. Instead, Weaver only cares that he has the company of his mother.
“If I’m here in Boise, if I’m back in Texas where my agent is, I don’t know what we were having, just as long as my mom is there,” Weaver said on Glenn Clark Radio April 6.
Carla Weaver had two jobs when Curtis was a kid, working long shifts to keep her and her son afloat. He’s now ready to show his appreciation by making sure she’s next to him when his name is called on TV.
While Goodell’s April 6 memo that ordered team personnel to stay isolated during the draft didn’t go into detail about the broadcast itself, prospects and fans can probably expect something a little like the later days of the draft, where players are no longer present to shake hands and show off their new jersey.
