When the NFL Draft was still in New York City and still at Madison Square Garden, a lot of us got to see the ESPN crew and talk to them off camera.
Mel Kiper was a really cool guy. He would answer a lot of questions from the fans about specific players. Whenever people gave him heat, he would just laugh it off or go along with it. I know people have a certain perception of Kiper, because of what they see of him on camera, but off camera, he was great.
