Ron Wolf became Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Green Bay Packers during the 1991 season and quickly made major changes that helped launch a long period of success for the franchise. After the 1991 season, he hired Mike Holmgren as head coach and traded for Brett Favre. After the 1992 season, he signed Reggie White, the NFL's most sought-after free agent, whose play on the field and influence off it made Green Bay a more desirable destination for future players. Wolf was also known for finding Pro Bowl talent throughout the draft, including seventh-round pick Donald Driver, sixth-round pick Marco Rivera, fifth-round pick Dorsey Levens, and many other successful players. He led the Packers to two consecutive Super Bowl appearances, including a Super Bowl championship over the Patriots in 1997, retired from the Packers in 2001, and was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the 2015 class.
