GREEN BAY, Wis. – Former Green Bay Packers receiver Walter Stanley was at the Denver Nuggets’ NBA playoff game on Saturday night when he got a text message from his son, Dimitri.
“Within that text, he has a photo of him signing with the Packers and said, ‘Dad, I’ve just landed,’” Walter Stanley told Packer Central on Sunday. “I pulled this up while I’m sitting there in my chair in the suite watching the game. My wife’s sitting next to me and I turned around and showed her the picture and she read the caption. And, of course, she immediately started bawling.
