The Green Bay Packers are welcoming back featured alumni Jerry Kramer and James Lofton for the Packers-Texans game on Sunday, Oct. 20.
Leading up to the game, the featured alumni will be signing a limited amount of autographs at the Lambeau Field Atrium on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 11 a.m. to noon. Interested attendees should note that the alumni will only sign autographs during the allotted time and access to the autograph line will end once capacity is reached, so fans should arrive early if they're hoping to receive an autograph. Additionally, personalized autographs will not be available.
On gameday, Lofton will be visiting with fans and signing autographs at surprise locations around Lambeau Field from 10:25 to 11:25 a.m. Kramer will be visiting with fans and signing autographs during that same time in the Legends Club on the Associated Bank Club Level, an area accessible to game attendees with suite or club seat tickets.
Additional Packers alumni will also be part of the gameday festivities on Sunday, with Johnny Jolly signing autographs and greeting fans at the Chevrolet display on the Fan Walkway on the east side of Lambeau Field, near the Johnsonville Tailgate Village, from 9 to 11 a.m.
Andrew Quarless and Jared Abbrederis will be at Titletown for Titletown Gameday Live presented by American Family Insurance before the game. They'll participate in a question-and-answer session at 10 a.m., and will greet fans afterward until 11 a.m.
Jerry Kramer began his 11-year NFL career as the Green Bay Packers' fourth round pick in the 1958 Draft. A stalwart right guard, he played an integral part in the Packers' famous power sweep. Known as one of the toughest offensive linemen in the league, he was a member of the NFL's 50th anniversary team in 1969 and went on to make All-Pro five times. As offensive guard and fill-in kicker, he played in 130 games and scored 177 points. Kramer was a member of five NFL championship teams, including the first two Super Bowl championship teams. He was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1975 and Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
James Lofton was selected by the Packers with the sixth overall pick in the 1978 NFL Draft. The wide receiver out of Standford spent nine seasons with Green Bay (1978-86), recording 9,656 receiving yards in 136 games, earning him seven Pro Bowl nods. A consistent deep-threat, Lofton averaged 18.4 yards per reception with the Green and Gold and topped the 1,000-yard mark in five seasons. His 14,004 career receiving yards was an NFL best at the time of his retirement in 1993. Lofton was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1999 and Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003.
