Ron Wolf was named Executive Vice President/General Manager of the Green Bay Packers during the 1991 season. The Green Bay Packers have consistently been one of the NFL's most winningest organizations ever since. Right away, Wolf made some big changes and the Packers started seeing success. Following the 1991 seasons, Wolf hired Mike Holmgren as head coach and traded for Brett Favre. Following the 1992 season, Wolf signed the most sought after free-agent in the NFL, Reggie White. White delivered on the field, and also made Green Bay a much more desirable team to play on for future generations of players. Also known for finding Pro Bowl players at any position in the draft, including 7th round pick Donald Driver (4 Pro Bowls), 6th round pick Marco Rivera (3 Pro Bowls), 5th round pick Dorsey Levens and many other success stories. Wolf also led the Packers to two consecutive Super Bowl appearances, including a Super Bowl Championship over the Patriots in 1997. Wolf retired from the Packers in 2001 and was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class.
