Your boy just got drafted by the Ravens. You betcha!
So here's the deal— you know how we're always pulling for our own here in Green Bay, especially when it comes to the NFL? Well, a kid from Appleton North, Evan Beerntsen, just got drafted by the Baltimore Ravens. Seventh round, which is wild, considering his journey. This fella spent seven years in college, which, ope, is a long time, but he never gave up on that NFL dream.
He went from Appleton North, up there off Northland Avenue, and just kept grinding. It's the kind of story that just makes you feel good, you know? It shows you that perseverance, that Wisconsin grit, it pays off. You see kids playing flag football over at the Titletown District, dreaming of Lambeau, and then you see a guy like Evan make it to the league, and it just connects.
### What This Means for Green Bay
* **Hometown Pride:** Another local making it big, showing the talent we've got brewing right here.
* **Inspiration for Kids:** Proves that sticking with it, even through a long college career, can lead to your dreams.
* **Packers Fan Dilemma:** Now we gotta cheer for the Ravens... a little bit, anyway. Unless they're playing our boys, then all bets are off, you betcha.
It's a reminder that even if you're not wearing the green and gold, folks around here are always gonna cheer for one of their own. Green Bay on the wire — cold hands, warm hearts, and Lombardis.
