Ex-Packers QB Zeke Bratkowski Dies at Age 88, Was Bart Starr's Backup

Zeke Bratkowski, who earned the nickname "Super Sub" while operating as the backup to legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr in the 1960s, died Monday at the age of 88.

The Packers announced the news.

"I've tried to pattern myself after Bart," Bratkowski said in 1967. "We study the movies together and go over the game plan together. I try to think as much like he does as I can so the team will not have to make a big adjustment if I'm needed."
