Roger Goodell’s presence at local events during the NFL Draft sends a clear message that the league enjoys engaging with its fans.
It’s not just about first-round picks and big names. These appearances strengthen community ties and promote youth involvement, two things the NFL says it values.
As the 2025 NFL Draft is about to unfold, having the commissioner play a big role reinforces that the league is grounded in community, not just stadium lights.
Exciting news has emerged about Goodell’s plans to fully embrace one of Green Bay’s unique traditions this year.
“Roger Goodell and (Packers executive) Mark Murphy will be riding bikes with kids around the outside of Lambeau next Saturday morning before Day 3 of the draft if your kids want to race,” Matt Schneidman of The Athletic wrote on X.

It has been a longstanding tradition at Packers training camp for young fans to loan their bikes to players so they can ride them to practice.
The 2025 draft festivities will energize the entire city, with legendary Lambeau Field serving as the natural focal point for the celebrations.
Central to the event will be the NFL Draft Experience, a football festival designed with fans in mind.
Visitors can look forward to interactive exhibits showcasing the sport’s rich history, opportunities to meet NFL legends for autographs, and various activities to test their football skills.
Perhaps most notably, fans will have the chance to capture photos with the iconic Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The festival will run through all three days of the draft, offering an unforgettable experience.
