Ron Rivera's Wife, Daughter to Assist HC During Redskins' Virtual NFL Draft

Washington Redskins coach Ron Rivera is enlisting the help of his family for the 2020 NFL draft this week.

Rivera broke down his home setup for the virtual event in a Twitter video, produced by his daughter, Courtney:

According to John Keim of ESPN, Courtney works for Washington's social media team, but she and Rivera's wife, Stephanie, will take notes during the draft while crossing off names as they come off the board.

"It's teamwork, just like in the military," Ron Rivera said. "Everyone in the house will be doing something."

The NFL draft moved to a virtual format because of the coronavirus, which has forced coaches and front office personnel to work from their homes.

The league held a mock draft Monday, but there were glitches during the first pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, there was also a bandwidth issue that slowed communication.

Rivera has gotten help from the team's IT department to improve the technological setup in his home, but he's apparently also utilizing his family as an extra resource during his unprecedented time. The draft will begin Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
