Packers International Fan of the Year Daniel Hanbridge brought the energy to NFL draft stage in Detroit when announcing fourth round pick
Daniel Hanbridge, have your moment!
The Green Bay Packers' international fan of the year who had the honors of announcing the team's fourth-round pick of Oregon's Evan Williams on Saturday afternoon gets an A+ grade — from his attire to his call of the selection, even if the Detroit crowd didn't appreciate it.
Hanbridge was decked in green and yellow overalls, a Packers home jersey, Packers large chain and, of course, a cheesehead. And he didn't waste time in giving it to the folks in the city of Detroit, the site of the draft.
"Detroit, I have three words for you: Go Pack Go," Hanbridge said.
"Whoo, yeah," he added, clearly just getting going and even may take the top spot away from Packers legend LeRoy Butler in best call of a draft pick.
Not surprisingly, that generated plenty of boos from the crowd.
Evan Williams becomes the fourth Oregon player taken in the first 11 picks of the fourth round.
And it's safe to say that the Packers fan who announced the pick was enthusiastic. pic.twitter.com/kfqnDnXuO4— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) April 27, 2024
First, Hanbridge announced the trade with how the Packers moved up to acquire the 111th pick:
"The New York Jets have traded the 111th pick to the four-time Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers," Hanbridge said, which may or may not have been a troll to the Lions, who don't have a Super Bowl on their résumé, though they appear to be getting closer, winning the NFC North last season.
Then the pick. And Hanbridge again reminded the crowd the number of Super Bowls the Packers have.
"With the 111th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the four-time Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers select future Packers Hall of Famer Evan Williams, defensive back from Oregon," Hanbridge said.
No pressure, Williams.
As he signed off from the stage, he added, "Go Pack Go baby, yeah, yeah."
Get this guy to Green Bay when the city hosts the 2025 draft.
Packers Twitter loved Dan Hanbridge announcing the pick of Evan Williams

Shoutout to the international Packers fan who announced the Evan Williams pick for talking up our four rings. I’m sure the Lions fans there were confused when they heard the words “Super Bowl”

That Packers fan acted exactly as I would act, if the Jaguars had 4 Super Bowls titles.

Not everyone (mostly NFC North teams' fans) appreciated the Packers fan
Of course the Packers fan makes an ass of himself. Of course.
