The NFL Draft was declareds an anti-trust violation back in the 1970's I believe. However, the NFL Players Association negotiated a collective bargaining agreement that traded away free agency rights for the players for some other benefits, and the NFL Draft was restored.
The NFL has to my knowledge lost every anti-trust case filed against it. The really weird case was the Donald Trump League case in which the jury awarded the other league $1 of damages that was tripled to $3 despite finding that the NFL violated anti-trust laws.
