The Oshkosh Country Club confirmed Murphy’s role ahead of the classic’s fifth edition, which is hosted by Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl guard Elgton Jenkins and the club’s owner, TJ Rodgers.
An All-Pro safety who won Super Bowl XVII with Washington, Murphy has served as Green Bay’s top executive since 2007, leading the Packers to 14 playoff appearances in that span, including a victory in Super Bowl XLV.

Murphy is set to retire in July when he reaches the club’s mandatory retirement age of 70 and is thought to be the only person to have won Super Bowls as both player and head of a franchise.
He also spearheaded the effort to bring the NFL Draft to Green Bay for the first time in the event’s history, attracting 600,000 fans to Lambeau Field April 24-26.
