The Green Bay Packers are welcoming back featured alumni Morgan Burnett and Nick Collins for the Packers-Bears game on Sunday, Jan. 5.
Leading up to the game, the featured alumni will be signing autographs and visiting with fans at the Lambeau Field Atrium on Saturday, Jan. 4, from 11 a.m. to noon.
On gameday, Burnett will be visiting with fans and signing autographs at surprise locations around Lambeau Field from 10:25 to 11:25 a.m. Collins 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.
Eddie Lacy and Don Beebe will also 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.
Morgan Burnett was selected by the Packers in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft out of Georgia Tech and played eight seasons for the team. He started in all 113 games he played, including the postseason. Considered a defensive leader on the field and in the locker room, the safety led the team in total tackles twice and recorded 10 interceptions and nine fumble recoveries. He finished his playing career with the Steelers and the Browns, and he retired as a Packer in 2021.
Nick Collins was selected by the Packers in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of Bethune-Cookman University. The safety recorded 22 interceptions over his 102-game career, perhaps none more memorable or meaningful than his 37-yard interception returned for a touchdown in the first quarter of the Packers' Super Bowl XLV victory. Collins was named to three consecutive Pro Bowls (2018-10) and was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2016.
