Packers Kicker Mason Crosby to Ride Bike Alongside 5-Year-Old Girl in DreamDrive
By Max Scoli
When Green Bay Packers Training Camp begins on July 25, hundreds of young Packer fans will ride their bikes to St. Norbert College in De Pere, WI in hopes of getting one of the players to ride back with them. However, this near impossible wish will come true for this special fan as part of DreamDrive.
Jemma Blechacz, a 5-year-old from Fox Point who needs to ride an adaptive bike, will get to cruise with NFL kicker Mason Crosby, who will be sporting his own custom-made Packers-themed bike with a uniquely designed wheel that requires both hands and arms to pedal.
Crosby had been participating in this Packer tradition for years, and holds the whole fan experience very dear to his heart as he states in the following quote:
“Whenever they have those opportunities, I like to jump on one of those and cruise over. It’s fun. It’s awesome. Those first couple days with the fan experience, it was crazy how many people were lined up and going. This is an experience that isn’t available anywhere else, so I embrace it."

Hopefully, this good deed will bring some good fortune to Crosby towards the end of his career. He was solid during his 2018 campaign, connecting on 30-37 field goal attempts, 5 of which came from over 50 yards out.
There were still some bumps along the way though.
If Crosby is lucky, he will be able to bring as much happiness to fans on the field next season as he has off the field.
