Ron Wolf
Inducted in 2019
Ron Wolf is one of the most influential executives in the history of the Green Bay Packers, credited with orchestrating one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history. A native of New Freedom, Pennsylvania, Wolf brought decades of football experience to Green Bay when he was hired as general manager in 1991. At the time, the Packers had struggled for years, but Wolf’s vision, leadership, and bold decision-making quickly laid the foundation for sustained success.
Wolf is best known for reshaping the Packers’ roster through savvy drafting, trades, and free-agent acquisitions. His most impactful moves included trading for quarterback Brett Favre, hiring head coach Mike Holmgren, and building a championship-caliber roster that blended homegrown talent with key veteran additions. Under his leadership, Green Bay returned to prominence, making multiple playoff appearances and capturing Super Bowl XXXI following the 1996 season.
Beyond wins and championships, Ron Wolf’s legacy lies in the culture of excellence and accountability he restored to the Packers organization.
