Former Packers quarterback and coach Bart Starr attended Wednesday morning's practice and was scheduled to address the team, at coach Mike McCarthy's request.
"It's an honor to have Bart here," McCarthy said.
"He's going to speak to our team today and talk about the history and tradition of the Green Bay Packers, so we're all looking forward to that."
With so many young players on the team, McCarthy said the players can benefit from learning about the Packers' tradition by listening to someone who played such a large role in helping the franchise become what it is today.
"I'm very big on education," McCarthy said.
"I think it's a very big part of what we can put in front of our players and coaches, and to have the opportunity to have Bart Starr come in and talk about the history and tradition, I think that speaks for itself."
To: Bart Starr ! " A Great Packer ".
