When I moved to Green Bay in 1992, Brett Favre, Mike Holmgren and I were all newbies. Lambeau Field's capacity was just over 60,000, counting club seats and boxes. The stadium was surrounded by a green, corrugated metal fence. The Packers Pro Shop was the size of a closet and the whole of the team's offices could probably fit in the Packers Hall of Fame Museum in the Lambeau Field Atrium. Few could have imagined, including me, the complex that welcomed the NFL draft this past week.
The Packers, in chasing the draft, pushed hard on their place in NFL history.
