Are you both a fan of the NFL and premium cable epic fantasy serials? All caught up on Game of Thrones, but not familiar with some of the names your favorite football team is targeting in Thursday’s NFL draft?

Well, Now This News has you covered.

It’s obvious that Game of Thrones has implications in football. Just on Tuesday, book series author George R.R. Martin was lamenting his Jets’ trade of Darrelle Revis. Like everyone else, Martin is learning that “It’s hard to be a fan of the New York Jets.”

What about the diminutive Tavon Austin and little person Tyrion Lannister?

Check out all the fun in the video below.
