Obviously our first thoughts are with McShay and his family and we wish him a speedy recovery. Not having him on-air during coverage of the draft will be a huge bummer. Watching McShay and fellow ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. spar with each other is always one of the highlights of the network's coverage.
If you're wondering how much people enjoy his work on the yearly broadcast, just look at the immediate outpouring of support he received on Twitter:
We miss Todd and are thinking of him, constantly. Get well soon! https://t.co/ZknBnQUgan
