Caught in the Draft – Wednesday, April 16 at 9:00 PM ET
Before the 2014 NFL Draft kicks off, NFL Network provides a comprehensive look back at the past 50 years of the NFL Draft with a new, NFL Films-produced series, Caught in the Draft.
Airing every Wednesday at 9:00 PM ET on NFL Network leading up to the eve of the 2014 NFL Draft, the five-episode series examines five specific drafts which had a profound impact on the National Football League and helped to transform the NFL Draft into the enormous event it has become. Actor Oliver Platt narrates the series.
This week’s episode – 1974: The Future is Now – focuses on the 1974 NFL Draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers change the way organizations view the NFL Draft by adopting a philosophy of building a championship team through the draft and selecting four future Hall of Famers in Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth and Mike Webster. Features interviews with the first ‘draftnik’ Pete Marasco, Lynn Swann, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, and more.
For a trailer of this week’s episode, visit: http://on.nfl.com/1epMWP9
The on-air schedule for the entire series is as follows:
– April 23 – 1984: A War is Upon Us
– April 30 – 1994: A Day That Will Live in Infamy
– May 7 – 2004: Storm Over Eli
Through archival sources and fresh interviews, Caught in the Draft provides viewers with the most compelling stories from each draft and offers a look inside at just how differently drafts were conducted in the past, and how the nature of the game as it was played in each of those times dictated the types of players selected. Additionally, each episode of Caught in the Draft features graphics and music related to that period of time, truly putting viewers “in the moment” of each decade.

Game Changers – Tuesday, April 15 at 9:00 PM ET

Airing each Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET on NFL Network leading up to the 2014 NFL Draft, Game Changers puts each prospect through an interview, film study and on-field workout to give viewers exclusive access into the lives of these athletes on and away from the football field.
