The NFL Draft takes center stage in Detroit this year, highlighting the city’s remarkable transformation. Once a symbol of urban decline, Detroit has rebounded from bankruptcy and is now bustling with fresh developments. The event is expected to inject $160 million into the local economy and showcase the city’s vibrant downtown, including the towering Hudson’s skyscraper, renovated Michigan Central Station, and symbolic ‘DETROIT’ art installation. Despite ongoing challenges, the draft aims to refresh the city’s image and demonstrate its resilience.
