The NFL Draft is coming up soon, and when the draft comes one of the most exciting, yet nerve wrecking parts for a potential NFL Superstar is the green room. We’ve seen players like Aaron Rodgers get invited, then be subjected to hours of on camera time as team after team pass on them.

But still it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity many would have a hard time passing up. The dream of walking across the stage and shaking Roger Goodell’s hand is ultimately what lures players to Radio City Music Hall in New York City,
