The former Packers great and the Hall of Fame made the announcement on Wednesday via the Hall’s social media accounts.
In a short video describing the rationale behind his choice, Kramer explained how Alicia came to him about five years ago to spearhead a campaign to resurrect his candidacy.
Kramer’s first reaction?
“Please don’t,” he says. “I don’t think that’s something I want to see. I’m not sure I want my daughter prospecting for me for all that. She said, ‘Well, I’m going to do it.’ She’s like her mother. ‘I’m going to do it.’”
A key component of the campaign was collecting letters from former Packers teammates and opponents already in the Hall of Fame in support of Kramer’s induction.
