If you’re a fan of watching NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell bear hug draft picks on draft night (and I have no idea why you would be), you are likely in for a disappointment.
ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter reports that Goodell had back surgery three weeks ago and may be unable to continue his tradition of hugging the first-rounders.

The last “hug-less” Goodell draft occurred in 2020. That was, of course, a virtual draft due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
