Via Twitter, McShay stated the following:
“Hey everyone…I’m so sorry to tell you I won’t be working the NFL Draft this year. I’m home recovering from coronavirus. For now, I just want to say I miss you all—my teammates at ESPN who have been incredibly supportive, my friends in the league, and the fans who have made the Draft what it is today. I also want to assure you I’ll be back, thanks to the tireless work of healthcare workers and first responders. You are truly our nation’s heroes. In the meantime, I’ll be watching and I hope you will too. I also hope Wingo and crew will help me out and do their part to keep Kiper in line!”
The coronavirus numbers in McShay’s home state of Massachusetts have completely skyrocketed in the last week. There are currently 50, 969 total cases, and 2, 556 deaths.
McShay is 43 years of age. He has been working with ESPN since 2006. The NFL Draft continues Friday and Saturday.
