Hulu is set to debut a new program called âThe Landâ centered around the Browns. Thatâs why many NFL fans were confused this week when Goodell was shown in Pittsburgh with Cleveland holding the number one pick.
The show centers around Ohio State Buckeyes signal caller Connor Roarke, who is expected to be the number one pick in the NFL Draft. The Browns coincidentally are the focal point of the show just like in the hit movie âDraft Day.â
Some NFL followers believed that Goodellâs production ploy at the 2026 draft could be hinting at the filmâs sequel. That doesnât seem to be the case, though.
