We're back with part two of our feature on ‘79 grad Pat McKenzie! Today’s episode focuses on his 35-year tenure as the head team physician for the Green Bay Packers. If for some reason you haven’t listened to part 1 where we cover the good doctor’s formative years at SJU you should definitely head back and give it a listen … it comes highly recommended. Today we shift focus to Pat McKenzie the doctor, whose career caring for NFL players spanned three and a half decades. A career which included recognition in March 2011 as the physician of the year for his work during the 2010 season, the Bob Harlan Leadership Award at the Packer’s Hall of Fame induction banquet in 2022 and culminated in February 2026 with the NFL Physician’s Society and the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society Presidents’ Award for his decades of service. As you can see, it’s no coincidence we were only able to find the time to sit down for these interviews after he retired. We have a lot to get to today … Rodgers, Favre, Holmgren, McCarthy … so let’s get to it!
