"League commissioners keep up with Twitter
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell tweeted from last weekend's draft, and the New England Patriots revealed draft picks on Twitter before Goodell announced them. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league will review how teams announce draft picks and determine if a policy is necessary. USA TODAY's Jeff Zillgitt outlines where some leagues stand.
