The Packers had their sights set on Lukas Van Ness on Thursday night, but the former Iowa defensive end’s inner circle enthralled social media.
As Green Bay selected Van Ness 13th overall, cameras captured the exciting scene at his home, where his loved ones — including family members and girlfriend Frankie Kmet — began the celebrations.
Fans on Twitter, on the other hand, were perplexed about the girls in Van Ness’ life.

“Lukas van ness two girlfriends … alright,” one user wrote.
Another tweeted, “Does Lukas Van Ness have 3 girlfriends??”
Kmet, who seemed to kiss Van Ness as he received the call from Green Bay, is presently dating Van Ness.

His father also patted Kmet’s butt in another instance when the camera flashed to the family.
His sister, Ella Van Ness, also took to her Instagram Stories to share photos of the emotional scene.
“Packers baby,” she gushed.
Although Van Ness and Kmet keep much of their relationship private, she did share a playful photo of the couple on a shopping trip earlier this month.
Van Ness and Kmet’s game days will be more fascinating in the future because her brother, Cole Kmet, is a tight end with the Bears, the Packers’ long-time division foe.In January, Van Ness declared for the draught.
The Packers advanced two positions in this year’s round thanks to a selection exchange with the Jets earlier this week, when Gang Green acquired Green Bay’s longstanding quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, in a widely anticipated deal.
