Ted Thompson, former Green Bay Packers general manager, dies at 68

Packers News GREEN BAY, Wis. – Ted Thompson, longtime general manager of the Green Bay Packers who built the team that won Super Bowl XLV, died Wednesday at age 68, the team announced. Thompson drafted future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers with his first pick as a general manager. That set the stage for the succession of Hall of Famer quarterback Brett Favre and the building of a team that won the Super Bowl in 2011. His teams in one stretch won 19 consecutive games and made the playoffs eight consecutive years. “He’s a humble, intelligent guy that always put the team first. He always kept a steady hand, never panicked,” said longtime friend Mike Reinfeldt when Thompson was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 2019. Reinfeldt roomed with Thompson when they played for the Houston Oilers and worked with him in Green Bay and Seattle.
