GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy’s quest to host the NFL Draft never was about the Green Bay Packers.
Rather, it was about the Green Bay community, the region and even the state.
“I think it’ll be a three-day commercial, not just for Green Bay but for the entire state,” he said before hopping on a bus for the team’s 19th Tailgate Tour on Tuesday morning. “So many different things that are unique and special to Wisconsin.”
As the countdown clock in the Lambeau Field Atrium is quick to remind, the first round of the NFL Draft will start in 16 days.
