GREEN BAY – Peter Mortell’s dream was no different than most kids growing up in Green Bay.
With his childhood home only a few blocks away from Lambeau Field, Mortell always hoped to play for the Packers. His family’s ties to the organization run deep with his grandfather, Jerry Jr., serving as the clock operator since the Lombardi Era before his son, Jerry III, assumed the job in 2000.
Peter began tagging along with his father to home games when he was about 12 years old. While developing into an all-state punter at Green Bay Notre Dame Academy on Friday nights, Mortell spent his Sundays as a game-day assistant in the Lambeau Field press box.
