The Green Bay Packers have a rich history at the quarterback position. Of course Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers headline the “big three” of the franchise. However, Lynn Dickey and Don Majkowski played a significant role for the franchise.
However, there is a lesser remembered quarterback who is making a name for himself outside of football.
One Former Green Bay Packers QB Is Making A Name For Himself Outside Of Football
According to Jeff Wilser of Coin Desk:
Kizer gets up at 4:45 a.m. because he has a packed day of meetings. He gets up at 4:45 because he’s now the CEO of One of None, a blockchain-based startup that’s trying to bridge the worlds of non-fungible tokens (NFT) and physical collectibles. He gets up at 4:45 a.m. to make time for a long walk around a golf course, clearing his head and listening to venture capital podcasts.
All of this confused me. As recently as last season, Kizer had calls from his NFL agent. He could have been a third-string QB or maybe the backup. At the very least he could collect those juicy NFL paychecks.
But Kizer hasn’t thrown a football in months. He’s not planning on throwing one anytime soon. “It’s over,” he tells me. “The cleats are hung up.”
He knows he can still play. But he found something that excites him more than football. He’s launching what might be the most ambitious project I’ve seen in the crypto space: A way to bring the many perks of NFTs – such as letting creators profit from secondary sales – to the physical world of art and watches and cars and really anything else you can imagine.

It is certainly cool to see former Packers making a name for themselves outside of football.
