While in Green Bay, they were able to join fellow Vikings STMs Robert Dingman and Kathryn Eidem, along with fans of all 31 other teams, for a Q&A with Goodell.
“We loved it,” Randy said. “The format allowed a more intimate experience seeing and hearing Commissioner Goodell in a candid setting, and the questions asked covered a wide variety of topics related to the NFL.
“It was really neat that all of us Vikings fans could experience different opportunities over the weekend and share them with each other,” he added.
But for everyone, viewing the draft from the Inner Circle took the cake for most memorable part of the three-day trip.
“We’ll never forget it,” David said. “The energy in that place was electric, and it was just so cool to be surrounded by fans from all NFL teams, all there for the same reason.
“To cheer for all these rookies whose lives are changing forever, and then also to cheer extra hard for your team’s own picks, was incredible,” he added. “You can’t help but feel a little emotional seeing how meaningful this is to the athletes and their futures.”
