OAHT 1514: Green Bay Packers Henry Jordan
Henry Wendell Jordan was an American football defensive tackle who played for two teams, the Green Bay Packers and the Cleveland Browns, during his thirteen-year National Football League career. He played in the NFL from 1957 to 1969.
Jordan was drafted in the fifth round of the 1957 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, who traded him two years later to the Green Bay Packers for a fourth round draft choice. At Green Bay, Jordan was elected to four Pro Bowls (1960, 1961 1963 and 1966), and he was the Pro Bowl MVP in 1961. Jordan was All-NFL six times, and he was a defensive leader on a Green Bay Packers team that played in six NFL title games and won the first two Super Bowls.
Jordan retired after an injury-filled 1969 season. After retiring, Jordan and his family resided in Oconomowoc where he was a member of the Oconomowoc Sports Booster Club, Summit School PTO and a member of Zion Church. He went to Milwaukee to create and oversee Summerfest. It was also in 1970 that Henry Jordan, former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle, became executive director of Summerfest, a title he held during the event's early years until his death in 1977.
Jordan died of a heart attack on February 21, 1977, at age of 42. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1995.
