GREEN BAY, Wis. — Fans from nearly every franchise across the country have descended on the NFL Draft, bringing their passion and creativity to the event. Some are painted head to toe in team colors, others wear custom outfits made specifically for draft weekend, and a few entrepreneurial spirits are even selling their own handmade items.
Sharon Meyer has been creating custom crocheted beer can hats for nearly three decades.
"I gotta have something to say I was here," Meyer said.
"For two years, every time I walked by this certain fan he said make beer can hats," Meyer said. "It took me about 22 hours to make my first one."
The Draft Experience features fans wearing everything from crocheted beer can hats to the iconic cheese heads of Green Bay Packers fans.
"GO, PACK, GO," shouted some enthusiastic Packers fans.
