Pat McAfee Vapes on Air During NFL Draft Show

During the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Pat McAfee was seen taking a hit from a vape pen live on his 'Draft Spectacular' show, a moment that quickly went viral on social media. McAfee offered the pen to guest and former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, who declined and tossed it into the crowd, drawing laughter from the audience. While many assumed the vape contained cannabis due to McAfee's open past use and public persona, McAfee later clarified that the pen contained CBD and vitamins. The incident reflects McAfee's unapologetically candid style, both on and off the air, which has included previous on-air use of alcohol and open discussion of marijuana. McAfee's approach continues to spark conversations about acceptable behavior on sports broadcasts, but remains popular among his fans for its authenticity and irreverence. The episode also comes amid unrelated legal controversy involving McAfee and a viral rumor discussed on his ESPN show.
