Cleveland will be the fifth different city to host since the NFL moved away from its then permanent residence in New York City back in 2015.
According to a press release from the Browns on Tuesday, “the event will bring NFL fans together at iconic locations around FirstEnergy Stadium and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to celebrate the game of football and show the world what makes Cleveland a destination city.”
The Browns will also be celebrating their 75th anniversary as a franchise throughout 2021.
Next year’s draft should mark a return to normalcy for the NFL, as they rejoin their rotating city format. The 2020 NFL Draft — originally to be held in Las Vegas — had to be moved to an entirely virtual format amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
The league is making good with Las Vegas and the Raiders, announcing last week that they will get a second chance and be the host city for the 2022 NFL Draft.
Kansas City will host the Draft for the first time ever in 2023.
