LA’s Long Wait for NFL Draft

L.A. hasn’t hosted the NFL draft since 1956, when it split with Philly — a quirky move born of Canada-related scheduling headaches. That year, while the Rams didn’t land Hall of Famers, they did draft future legends like Bart Starr and Willie Davis, and Pro Bowler Leon Clarke. L.A. nearly got the draft back in 2015, but Chicago stole the show — and since then, the NFL has rotated wildly through cities like Vegas, Nashville, and Detroit. With D.C. hosting in 2027 and Minneapolis in 2028, L.A. is poised for its next shot — especially since the city already proved it can pull off massive events like recent Super Bowls. The wait is almost over. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
