In memoriam: Knafelc, Gustafson, Hadl among Green Bay Packers who died in 2022

Well-known Green Bay Packers who died in 2022 included Gary Knafelc, John Hadl and Alden Roche. The team also lost some players who had much shorter careers with Green Bay, but are Packers alumni just the same.

Some were ground breakers, such as Veryl Switzer, the first Black player to be drafted in the first round by a Packers team, and others played on NFL, conference and division championship teams, including Roche, Knafelc and Tyrone Davis.

In all, 10 former members of the Green Bay Packers organization are known to have passed during the year.
