The 2012 NFL Draft is just a couple of weeks away. A record 26 prospects will be attending the event at Radio City Music Hall.

Apr 13, 2012 - The 2012 NFL Draft will take place from April 26-28 at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The league has announced that this year, a record 26 players in the draft have been invited to attend the event in person. This is one of the most deep and talented draft pools in recent years and as such, the NFL is prepared to make an event out of it

Names like Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Matt Kalil were expected as locks to be invited, but some of the names (like Stanford Cardinal tight end Coby Fleener) are a bit surprising.
