Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst announced several personnel promotions as the organization continues strengthening its football operations department before the 2026 season. The moves reflected Green Bay’s long-standing commitment to internal development and organizational continuity.
The organization promoted nine staff members across multiple player personnel roles, rewarding employees who contributed to the team’s recent roster-building efforts. Green Bay has consistently preferred promoting from within rather than making major outside hires.
One of the most notable promotions involved Milt Hendrickson, who received an expanded leadership role after years working within the Packers’ scouting structure. Hendrickson has played an important role in evaluating both college and professional talent for the organization.
The promotions also reinforced Green Bay’s emphasis on familiarity and collaboration within the front office. Team executives value employees who already understand the franchise’s scouting systems, draft preparation process and overall roster philosophy.
