NFL Sending Football Milwaukee-Green Bay via “Pedal to the Draft” Bike Relay
Honoring a tradition unique to Green Bay within the NFL, a football symbolizing the transfer of the NFL Draft from Detroit to Green Bay will be delivered to Lambeau Field via bicycle relay from Milwaukee.
The first hand-off will be at Milwaukee’s Lake Express Ferry Terminal as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer will hand the ball over to a team of bicyclists representing the Packers, Travel Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Bike Federation and others in a relay to its final destination. Stops highlighting Wisconsin’s beauty and “bikeability” will be made along the way, and with Sheboygan County squarely in the middle of the journey, it’s likely the football will be seen locally. Once in Green Bay, kids on bikes in Packers regalia will echo the tradition of players riding the kids’ bikes across the street to Lambeau Field.
No schedules have yet been released, but the progress can be followed on Packers social media and packers.com using the hashtag #PedalToTheDraft.
