The NFL's second-biggest event after the Super Bowl kicks off Thursday night in the league's smallest market.

The big picture: City officials expect up to 300,000 people to visit Green Bay, Wisconsin, home of the Green Bay Packers, for the NFL Draft.

Hundreds of college standouts, including student-athletes from the University of Texas, will wait to hear their name called at this week's NFL draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The big picture: This is the first time the NFL's smallest market is hosting the major event.
