The Green Bay Packers are planning to honor former general manager Ted Thompson by installing his name on the Lambeau Field façade.
Thompson’s name will be placed alongside Pro Football Hall of Fame members and other important players and executives in team history.
Thompson was 68 when he died Wednesday night. He served as the Packers general manager from 2005-to-2017.
The first player Thompson drafted for the team was quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He later hired Mike McCarthy to coach, signed Charles Woodson, and drafted Clay Matthews – among many moves leading to the Super Bowl title in 2011 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
