Receiver (statue)

The Receiver is a 22-foot (6.7 m) tall public statue in Green Bay, Wisconsin, associated with the Green Bay Packers, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL). The statue was commissioned in the early 1980s by the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame to honor the Packers contributions to the development of the forward pass. It was designed and constructed in April 1985, with fabrication and installation completed in June 1985. The statue was originally located in front of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, but was sold and moved in 2003 to the Neville Public Museum of Brown County. It was moved again in 2005 to its current location, in front of what was then Titletown Brewing. In 2013, the statue was repainted and rededicated to honor Donald Driver, a wide receiver who played 14 seasons for the Packers and set numerous team records. The statue's location on the property of the historic Chicago and North Western Depot (which was occupied by Titletown Brewing) makes it part of the Packers Heritage Trail.
