This was absolutely magnificent!
The NFL Draft kicked off Thursday night, with the Tennessee Titans being the first ones to make their selection. But before we got to business, several Green Bay Packers legends were invited to the stage by Commissioner Roger Goodell to begin the festivities. After all, the draft is in Green Bay, so you had to do something for the Pack faithful out there.
It’s just … things were a bit weird when everybody, including Goodell and rapper Lil Wayne, came out while riding bicycles.
I’m not kidding, check it out.

After that was done, Goodell introduced the Green Bay legends, which composed of Clay Matthews, Mason Crosby, Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Ahman Green.
Matthews, one of the best players ever in Green Bay‘s defensive history, got on the mic and stated that he had a message to deliver from President Donald Trump. (RELATED: President Trump Wants To See Return Of Iconic Sports Brands, Such As ‘Redskins’)
“I just got off the phone with the President, Donald Trump,” said Matthews. “He asked me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises.”
Except … well … just roll the tape.

By the way, speaking of cool, I absolutely love the drip that Wayne dropped for the draft.

Partnering with Mitchell & Ness, Wayne has released his own NFL merchandise centered around his Packers.
The merch celebrates the NFL Draft being in Green Bay and is inspired by “Tha Carter VI.”
