Potential 1st Round Draft Pick Tests Positive for COVID-19

COVID strikes again! Virginia Tech Cornerback Caleb Farley, a potential first-round draft pick, was all set to attend the draft in person until the results of his latest COVID-19 test came back. Farley announced in a video he posted to Twitter on Wednesday that he’s tested positive for COVID-19.

See his message below:

“I’m still in good spirits,” Farley said in the video. “I’m not going to let nothing or nobody ruin this week for me because it’s a dream come true.”

Farley is currently asymptomatic and feeling fine, but as a result of his positive test, he will no longer be going to Cleveland to attend the draft.

Tough event not to attend, but once he gets drafted,  assuming he will, everything will be great.
