Green Bay, WI — NFL Hall of Famer and iconic Green Bay Packers guard Jerry Kramer is back in town for this year’s NFL Draft, and he’s making headlines once again — this time off the field. The 89-year-old legend has reportedly signaled his intent to become one of the Packers’ newest co-owners, further deepening his lifelong connection to the franchise.
Kramer, best known for his crucial role in the Packers’ dynasty under Vince Lombardi and for delivering the legendary block in the “Ice Bowl,” has long been celebrated as one of the most important figures in team history. Now, decades after hanging up his cleats, he’s looking to take on a new kind of leadership role with the team.
“It’s more than just a symbolic gesture,” said a source close to Kramer. “Jerry wants to invest in the future of the team he helped build. He’s always been part of the Packers’ heart and soul — now he wants to be part of its ownership.”
As the Packers remain the only publicly owned franchise in American professional sports, Kramer’s potential stake would come through the team’s unique stock offering structure, which allows fans and former players alike to become shareholders.
Kramer is expected to make an official announcement later this week while participating in various draft-related events around Green Bay. His presence has already electrified the city, with fans lining up for autographs and reminiscing about his legendary playing days.
For Packers faithful, it’s a full-circle moment — a true legend of the gridiron stepping up once again, this time to help shape the future of Titletown.
