“Go for a long time, Tony,” Evers said in the video, before caught the pass from himself and spiked the ball in dirt.
Social media had fun at the account of the democratic governor.
Evers later published videos of themselves on the draft stage and met with some fans before the event started.
“Wisconsin, we’re here in Titletown! Everyone is jazzy and getting ready for a good first night on the draft!” He wrote in a post on Thursday.

NFL Draft is the first big event to kick off the new season. Despite the NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and others who just advertise a list of team choices, fans flock to it every year, and it draws a massive audience on TV.
