The NFL may be in its offseason, but that hasn’t stopped the Green Bay Packers organization from receiving praise.
On June 25, former Packers running back Elijah Pitts and longtime Green Bay athletic trainer Pepper Burruss were two of the 15 NFL contributors to be honored by the Pro Football Hall of Fame by receiving Awards of Excellence.
The distinction acknowledges contributors to the game in “behind-the-scenes” roles. In addition to public relations personnel, the program honors career assistant coaches, athletic trainers, equipment managers, and film/video directors.
