Pat McAfee has never been one to keep things low-key, and with the 2025 NFL draft approaching, the former Colts punter turned media star is once again making headlines. Since retiring from the NFL in 2016, McAfee has become one of the most dynamic figures in sports media, landing major deals with FanDuel and ESPN, hosting WWE events, and running "The Pat McAfee Show", where his unfiltered style has earned him a massive fanbase.
With the draft heading to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for the first time ever, McAfee dropped a teaser during Monday's show while chatting with NFL analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Ian Rapoport. When the two asked if he would be attending this year's draft alongside them, McAfee didn't confirm-but he didn't exactly shut it down either.
"The more and more I think about it, maybe we do go shake their hands," McAfee said, hinting at a possible appearance.

He went a step further, suggesting there could be more in store than just showing up-potentially hosting something in front of the fans.
"It's going to be an electric factory," McAfee added. "That place is amazing. I can't wait to see who our guest host potentially would be."
McAfee's no stranger to live settings. As a regular on ESPN's College GameDay, he's become known for bringing unmatched energy to each campus stop.
Though nothing official has been announced, McAfee's comments have sparked speculation about whether he could show up in Green Bay not just to attend-but to host something larger for fans.
"Maybe we shake their hands and make it happen," he said, leaving the door wide open.
One thing's certain: if McAfee does decide to be part of the draft festivities in Green Bay, it's going to be loud, entertaining, and impossible to ignore.
