Who Hugged Roger Goodell Longest At Last Night's Draft?
The NFL draft does gangbuster ratings, as football fans from around the country tune in to watch very large men embrace a very rich one. It's a Deadspin tradition to measure each draftee's hug time, and this year we've got a graph to go with it.
Your most embraceable NFL prospect? Jason Verrett, who got cozy with Roger Goodell for 6.52 seconds. Teddy Bridgewater maintained his personal space the most; the Vikings draftee only hugged the commissioner for 0.83 seconds. Watch the video, or check out the graph, for more.
