Packers, Wisconsin alums to be featured at NFL Draft

The NFL Draft will have a very Wisconsin feel for those in attendance at Lambeau Field beginning on Tuesday.

 

The NFL announced some of its presenters during the three-day event. On Thursday night, Green Bay Packers Legends Mason Crosby, Ahman Green, James Jones, Clay Matthews and Jordy Nelson will be on-site to help Commissioner Roger Goodell to officially open the 2025 NFL Draft.

 

Among the NFL Legends scheduled to be on-site, four have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Jerry Kramer (Green Bay Packers, Class of 2018), Dave Robinson (Green Bay Packers, Class of 2013), and Wisconsin alum Joe Thomas (Cleveland Browns, Class of 2023). 

 

Thirteen day-two announcers attended the University of Wisconsin, including the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, Lee Evans (representing the Buffalo Bills), as well as four of the school’s top six all-time leading rushers – Taylor (Indianapolis Colts), Montee Ball (Denver Broncos), Melvin Gordon (Los Angeles Chargers) and James White (New England Patriots).

Seven of the presenters were born in the state of Wisconsin, including Travis Frederick (Sharon), Melvin Gordon (Kenosha), Alec Ingold (Green Bay), Tim Krumrie (Menomonie), Ryan Ramczyk (Stevens Point), Thomas (Brookfield) and Stu Voigt (Madison).
