Pat Peppler tells all on Lombardi Packers

Cliff Christl started gathering oral histories with former Packers and others associated with the team in 2000 and will continue to gather them as Packers historian. Excerpts from those interviews will be periodically posted at www.packers.com

Pat Peppler served as Vince Lombardi’s director of player personnel for six years. Lombardi hired him a little more than a month after the 1963 draft and left for Washington days after the 1969 draft. When the Packers hired Peppler, he replaced Dick Voris, who had spent two years on the job after taking over as personnel director following the death of Jack Vainisi.
