ESPN’s Adam Schefter Shares Egregious Phone Screen Time Amid Hectic Day of NFL Free Agency

The NFL insider has been practically glued to his phone early into free agency.

The beginning of NFL free agency is a busy time for teams as they look to secure the signatures of the top available players. 

With plenty of movement in terms of roster transactions, the only people potentially busier than league front office members are NFL reporters who are looking to get the inside scoop.

Among the most notable NFL insiders is ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and he shared Tuesday just how much time he spent on his phone during the opening days of free agency as he looks to stay up to date with the latest intel. 

In an Instagram video posted to ESPN’s NFL account, Schefter could be seen wielding two phones, one of which displayed a screen time count from Monday, reading 14 hours and 58 minutes. His other phone read two hours and 25 minutes, bringing to a jaw-dropping total of 17 hours and 23 minutes of screen time.

Schefter has been working virtually around the clock as teams conduct business late into the evening and in the early morning. To be at the top of the scoop game comes at a cost.

The 57-year-old claimed it was the first time he had ever checked his screen time, so, for now, he called it his all-time record.
