Ted Fritsch
Ted Fritsch came to the Packers in 1942 recommended by his Stevens Point State College coach, former Packer Ed Kotal.
The 5’10”, 205-pound Fritsch was a bruising fullback who ran over defenders rather than eluding them.
The athletic Fritsch also played with the Oshkosh All Stars of the National Basketball League and with the Triple A Toledo Mud Hens baseball team.
Fritsch scored both Packer touchdowns in the 14-7 1944 NFL championship victory over New York, one rushing and one receiving.

Fritsch was also a great tackler and a able defender on defense.

After retiring, Fritsch was a teacher, coach and athletic director at Premontre High School in Green Bay.[/u]
