Nelson Toburen, a linebacker who earned two NFL championship rings with the Green Bay Packers under coach Vince Lombardi, has died at 87 after a cancer illness.
Toburen played during the Lombardi era, a standout chapter in Packers history. The team ruled the NFL during those years, and Toburen was a part of that winning period.
After his playing career ended, Toburen later worked as a judge in Kansas, a role that became a central part of his legacy.
