It’s finally the week of April we’ve all been waiting for -NFL Draft week. The rumors, the mocks, the ‘what-ifs’ all come to a head this Thursday night, April 24. A whole bunch of our draft curiosities are about to be answered. Who’s going first? Which team will make that one pick that throws the board into chaos?  On the night of April 24, things kick off in style from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, where future stars will hear their names called. And walk that stage into new beginnings.

You’ll be able to catch the action live across all three days, with several channels airing wall-to-wall coverage from tuning in for the first-round drama to scouting those late-round sleepers. So, clear your schedules for three nights and gear up for one of the most exciting weekends in football. FOX Sports Radio will be going all in on the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. This will be the 25th year they’ve done their special Draft Night LIVE show. And FOX’s insider and host, the specialist, Jay Glazer, will be leading it. The 55-year-old will be breaking down trades, rumors, and giving the inside scoop throughout the night. But Glazer won’t be doing it alone. The FOX insider and host has a strong team with him. Joe Douglas, the former Jets GM, will join Jay. Douglas will bring insider front-office experience.

And joining them on the panel will be LaVar Arrington. The former NFLer himself was a second overall pick in the 2000 draft. LaVar co-hosts Two Pros and a Cup of Joe and Up On Game. You’ll be able to listen to the coverage almost anywhere on hundreds of radio stations across the U.S., on YouTube, iHeartRadio, and their website (FOXSportsRadio.com). The channel will also share clips and highlights all over social media.

Channels like ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network will also be broadcasting the three draft days live. So, while Jay Glazer is ready with his squad to call the 2025 Drafts for you, there’s a more personal story quietly unfolding behind the scenes. 

A deeper layer to Jay Glazer’s draft night

Jay has been a familiar NFL face for two decades now. Over the course of his career, he’s built a lot of personal connections both inside and outside the league. So when he faced a personal loss, the entire league mourned with him. On Sunday, the FOX Insider shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, announcing that his father, Ed Glazer, had passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 83.

“My pops passed this AM at 83. Last weekend, I got to fly back East to say goodbye to my dad before he died. I am soooooo glad I did. Listen, gang, we just rent these bodies, but the souls live on forever, at least that’s what I CHOOSE to believe,” read a part of Glazer’s emotional note dedicated to his father.

From former QB Troy Aikman to Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone, many came forward to offer their condolences to Jay, leaving heartfelt messages on his post.
