A former Green Bay Packers executive whose influence spanned generations is set to receive one of pro football’s most meaningful honors. Lee Remmel will be recognized in 2026 for a lifetime of service that helped shape the franchise’s public voice and historical identity.
Remmel’s connection to the team began long before his tenure in the front office. He first covered the team as a newspaper reporter in the 1940s, documenting eras that stretched from Curly Lambeau through Vince Lombardi. That early work laid the foundation for a reputation built on accuracy, context and deep institutional knowledge.
