Social Roundup: See what athletes are doing with their seasons suspended – April 20
With the NBA, MLB, NHL and other major sports leagues and sporting events suspended or canceled because of the coronavirus, professional athletes are spending their free time working out, playing video games, learning how to play instruments and more. Have a look at what some of your favorite players from your favorite teams are up to on social media.
Here’s to attacking Monday like top NFL prospect Chase Young attacks those box jumps.
He’s projected to go No. 2 in the draft, and judging by how high he can fly, we’d say he’s a suitable pick.
From aiming high, to dropping it low, our favorite athletes are doing it all.

These athletes really miss their sports, and we know they are just itching to get back out and play.

Over in the NBA, Boston Celtics center Tacko Fall and forward Jaylen Brown took to Twitter to throw some shade at another teammate – don’t worry Enes, will still love you and can’t wait to watch you ball out again.
Thanks for the love ?

We came for the jokes, but stayed for the dancing.

Put on some jams and bust a move – because in times like these, it can’t hurt to let loose a little.
