Packers to immortalize Ted Thompson with honor inside Lambeau Field

The name of the man who helped bring a fourth Super Bowl title to Green Bay will be immortalized inside Lambeau Field.

The Packers announced the team will honor former general manager Ted Thompson by installing his name on the Lambeau Field facade before next season.

Thompson, who was the team’s general manager from 2005-2017, passed away at the age of 68 on Wednesday night.

Thompson will join Pro Football Hall of Famers and other highly influential players and executives in the team’s decorated history along the inside facade of the legendary stadium.

A scout or personnel executive for over 20 years with the Packers, Thompson became the team’s general manager in 2005 and immediately revolutionized the franchise, taking quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the 24th overall pick in his first draft.
