Who, exactly, is Joe Fortunato? No, not this Joe Fortunato, who was a Chicago Bears linebacker, a three-time All-Pro, and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All-1950s team. Instead, the Green Bay Packers signed a long snapper by the same name on Wednesday, adding some competition to the roster at a less-than-exciting but still-important position on the roster.
The Packers announced Fortunato’s addition this afternoon, noting that he has spent time with the Indianapolis Colts in 2017 and the Dallas Cowboys in 2020.
