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 led the NFL in scoring with 100 points in 1946.

Fritsch scored 380 points and rushed for 2,200 yards during his Packer career, from 1942-’50.

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


Fritsch was voted to the 1st team All-NFL in 1945 and 1946.


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