It has been fifty years since Green Bay Packers legend Jerry Kramer dawned the Green and Gold at historic Lambeau Field for the final time. In those fifty years, the stadium has expanded and the faces have changed, but the winning tradition has remained the same. It is fitting that today, August 4, 2018, one of the greatest living patriarchs of the Green Bay Packers organization will finally be honored for the legendary career that he achieved during his time on the football field, by being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio.
In the days leading up to Jerry Kramer's induction ceremony, I have thought about his fifty-year-long journey to be recognized by the Hall of Fame committee for his exemplary career.
