Jerry Kramer Hall Of Fame NFL

Jerry Kramer was one of the greatest offensive guards in NFL history, best known for his precision blocking and leadership on Vince Lombardi’s legendary Green Bay Packers teams. Born on January 23, 1936, Kramer played his entire 11-year career with the Packers from 1958 to 1968. He was a cornerstone of the team’s dominant offensive line that powered Green Bay to five NFL Championships and the first two Super Bowl victories.

Kramer’s defining moment came in the 1967 NFL Championship Game—the “Ice Bowl”—where his iconic block on Jethro Pugh sealed the Packers’ victory. A five-time First-Team All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler, Kramer was finally inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018, long overdue recognition for his immense contributions to football’s golden era.
