Brian Gutekunst is ready for his first — and hopefully last — virtual draft.
Gutekunst, the Green Bay Packers’ general manager, has had his home turned into a war room for the NFL Draft, which begins tonight.
With stay-at-home orders in place nationwide and large gatherings prohibited, Gutekunst won’t be surrounded by his most trusted scouts. Instead, he’ll be accompanied by an information technology employee to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Gutekunst will cross his fingers that his four children stay out of harm’s way. And he’ll try keeping a semblance of normalcy in a draft that’s anything but normal.
