Martinkovic, who turned 91 on Super Bowl Sunday, played defensive end for the Packers from 1951 to 1956 and never missed a game, playing in 72 in all. He was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1974.
“He was a very good defensive end,” former teammate and four-time Pro Bowl safety Bobby Dillon said in 2015. “He probably was more of a run guy than a pass rusher. He was a big, strong guy. He didn’t miss assignments. He was just a good player.”
While Martinkovic never played on a winning team in Green Bay, he was one of only three Packers named to as many as three Pro Bowls during those six seasons.
