DETROIT — A record 775,000 people came downtown here this weekend to take in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Eminem and Big Sean were there. Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson too. Aidan Hutchinson appeared in both billboard and actual form. The Michigan governor sported her buffs. Jared Goff heard his name chanted approximately 775,000 times.
They say there ain’t no party like a Detroit party and for three days this one, amid fresh skyscrapers and soaring Lions fortunes alike, felt like it wouldn’t stop.
