While the NFL’s first-ever virtual draft seemed to go relatively smoothly overall, it wasn’t clear sailing for all involved.
On Sunday, NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala recounted her experience from working at home, as she delivered Steelers news with her baby daughter Kaya crying in the background.
“Now that we’ve all reveled in the footage of @NFL GMs and coaches w/ their families during the #draft, please allow me to share what working from home was like for me, at abt 12:15am Friday, when @nflnetwork asked me to file a Day 1 report on the #Steelers,” she posted.
In the clip, Kinkhabwala didn’t flinch while discussing the Steelers’ draft plans as her baby girl fussed in the background. Though Kinkhabwala was met with praise online for her composure, one fan joked her Cleveland-born daughter wasn’t pleased hearing about AFC North rival Pittsburgh.
In September, Kinkhabwala welcomed Kaya in Cleveland, where she was covering the Browns. After giving birth, Kinkhabwala thanked the organization for their generosity after birthing plans went awry.
We were supposed to leave town Sunday, after the game. She had other ideas. Ran out of clean clothes days ago, haven’t left the hospital to find new ones and so who comes through? @Browns, thank you. So, so much. #FootballisFamily#NFLpic.twitter.com/ZMVkf3nx2w
