Lukas Van Ness and his family had quite the night, though not everything went as well as planned as there could be some infighting. But we’ll touch on that a bit later.
The defensive lineman, drafted No. 13 overall out of Iowa by the Green Bay Packers, has two sisters who went viral during the draft after they were shown celebrating with him. Cameras showed the Van Ness family enjoying the moment after his name was called during Thursday night’s first round.
The DL’s sisters, Hanna and Ella, were sitting next to him when he got that phone call. And, having already attracted some attention ahead of the draft, it did not take them long to go viral online.
Both of the Van Ness girls have Instagram accounts that are currently open and, take our word for it, they’re worth a scroll-through.

Hanna, whose following has bumped up to over 3.3K from around 2.2 on Thursday night, appears to be fond of sharing photos from her favorite holiday spots and various other outings.
Ella has also gone up over a thousand followers since draft night. According to her bio, she attends the University of Iowa, where her brother spent the last — years.
So, back to that thing we mentioned earlier. Well, Lukas’ girlfriend Frankie was also present on the night and it appears the player’s father got a little too excited as he slapped her on the butt twice amid the celebrations.
So yeah, it was quite a night…
