GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Andy Neumann moved out of Wisconsin a dozen years ago and now lives in Georgia, where he generally doesn’t have to worry about temperatures in the 50s after Easter.
But he also is a Green Bay Packers shareholder, and nothing was going to stop him from attending the NFL draft at the home of the league’s only publicly owned team. So he flew from his home in Savannah to visit relatives in Minnesota, then drove more than four hours to catch Thursday’s first round outside Lambeau Field.
“I was prepared for cooler weather,” Neumann said, wearing a Packers jersey with Ray Nitschke’s name on the back.
