NFL Announces Games for Fans at 2017 Draft in Philly

The 2017 NFL draft is just over a week away from taking over Philadelphia.

The Eagles hold the No. 14 overall pick and have a number of directions they can go with their selection (see story.)

The NFL draft can move slowly at times, but there will be plenty of attractions and games to keep Eagles fans occupied at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway until they're on the clock. Some of these games include running routes against NFL players or spinning the ball like Tom Brady by throwing Hail Mary's into a drop-in net.

Here's a full list of the games below:

* Zip to the Future presented by Oikos Triple Zero – Fly over NFL Draft Experience on a 100-yard zip line. Due to high demand, timed reservations will be made available via Fan Mobile Pass.

* Combine Corner – From racing against NFL players to running routes, fans can test their football and athletic skills at Combine Corner.
