Why are the Jonas Brothers at the 2023 NFL Draft?
That’s the question many are asking on social media after the Grammy-nominated trio — made up of brothers, Joe, Kevin, and Nick Jonas — joined the ESPN “College GameDay” crew for an interview on the ABC broadcast Thursday night.
“Who [the f–k] invited the Jonas brothers??? #NFLDraft weird,” one person wrote on Twitter.
Another then added, “The ‘GameDay’ guys and the Jonas Brothers are a weird combo.”
One user even spoofed ESPN, writing, “For the latest on the #NFLDraft, let’s go to the Jonas brothers.”
Although some were surprised about former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis slipping down the draft board, others were shocked the Jonas Brothers were picked to appear at the draft.
However, it wasn’t necessarily a secret the brothers would be in Kansas City for the big night.
The Jonas Brothers — who have been touring ahead of the release of their sixth studio album, “The Album” — announced on “Good Morning America” Monday that they would be part of the ABC primetime telecast with Rece Davis and “College GameDay” analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard.
During the draft show, the band shared their unreleased song “Celebrate.”

It turned out to be Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks after the Giants traded up one spot.
“The Album” is set for release on May 12.
A world tour will kick off in August that includes back-to-back shows at Yankee Stadium.
