The Washington Post also reported that the draft will likely take place at the National Mall in D.C., as the event looks to continue its massive success from recent years. Green Bay's draft last month had an estimated 600,000-plus attendees over the three-day event.
Trump has been making his rounds at major sporting events since he returned to the Oval Office, including even showing up at the Super Bowl this past February when the Philadelphia Eagles took home the Lombardi Trophy.
