The top 58 NFL Draft prospects have been given cameras so they can be part of ESPN's and the NFL Network's dual nationally televised draft coverage while we all maintain social distancing. They were also given memos about what they can and cannot wear and what products they can and cannot consume or use during the draft broadcast. For example, athletes may not be seen consuming Coca Cola because Pepsi is a league sponsor. Yet, these players have presumably played three or four years of college football for free. Now they are their own business entity and should be allowed to hawk their own products.
