The NFL took a page from the Green Bay Packers' community engagement playbook, hosting a kids' bike parade on the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft, a tradition usually reserved for Packers training camps dating back to 1958.
Two hundred and fifty kids got early access to the Draft Theater and carried on the longtime Green Bay tradition. As a result, hundreds of bikes sailed past the Draft Stage at 8 a.m. April 26, including ones ridden by Packers CEO Mark Murphy and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The event references the 66-year Packers tradition of players riding to training camp open practices on the bikes of young fans.
