Former Packers GM and Packers Hall of Famer Ted Thompson came forward Wednesday disclosing he has been suffering from an autonomic (nervous) disorder. He said the medical condition directly relates to his stepping down as the GM at the end of 2017.
In a statement issued by the team, Thompson said he and president Mark Murphy discussed his health and agreed it was best he step away. The courage Thompson has displayed over the years and leading up to this announcement is a true testament to his character.
Thompson never sought out the limelight even when Green Bay won Super Bowl XLV.
