The NFL’s time to honor Kobe Bryant will come on the biggest day of the season.
During his annual “State of the NFL” press conference Wednesday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed Bryant will be honored during Super Bowl LIV, per ESPN’s Field Yates. The memorial will come one week to the day that Bryant died, along with his daughter Gianna and seven other passengers, in a helicopter crash outside Los Angeles.
Goodell didn’t go into specifics about what the league will be doing to honor the late Los Angeles Lakers legend.
