ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (WFRV) – The countdown to the 2025 NFL Draft officially began on Tuesday, with a ceremonial draft handoff from Michigan to Wisconsin.

A commemorative football arrived in Milwaukee Tuesday morning via ferry across Lake Michigan. A group of bike riders escorted the football north to Titletown where kids joined them for the last leg of the ride.

In a ceremony at Lambeau Field, Packers brass unveiled an NFL draft countdown clock in the atrium.

“We have an awful lot of great things going on and this will probably be the best draft ever held,” said Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy.
