During "The Pat McAfee Show" on April 28, McAfee applauded Green Bay, referring to the city as a "spectacular host." McAfee and his crew broadcasted live from the Draft Experience from April 24-25. "The hospitality was through the roof, and it felt like the fans showed up all weekend long. What a spectacle the draft has become," McAfee said.

The Packers have made the playoffs in each of the past two seasons with Jordan Love as the starting QB, losing at Philadelphia in the Wild Card last season.

Bringing the NFL draft to the league’s smallest market was supposed to mean a smaller crowd. Green Bay Packers fans had other ideas.
