MORTAL DRAFT
Mortal Draft paired the 2021 NFL Draft with the "Mortal Kombat" movie, which opened the same week. FOX Sports writer RJ Young matched seven prospects to fighters from the game, and I turned each comparison into a 16-bit fighter standing in the arena: Trevor Lawrence as Raiden, Kyle Pitts as Shang Tsung, Nick Saban as Shao Kahn. Every player is drawn in the game's own pixel style, so the joke lands before you read a word.
