A celebration of his life is scheduled for this Saturday in his hometown of Mesa, Arizona.
“Peete was hired as running backs and special teams coach by head coach Forrest Gregg in 1987. A year later, Peete was retained as backfield coach by Lindy Infante and served under him through 1991. At the end of that season, Peete lost his job when Infante was fired by recently hired general manager Ron Wolf,” the Packers wrote on their official website.
“Peete previously coached at the University of Arizona from 1971-82 and with the Kansas City Chiefs from 1987-91. Peete’s youngest son, Rodney, played quarterback in the NFL from 1989-99 and again from 2001-04 with six different teams.”
Our thoughts go out to Willie’s family amid what must be a very difficult period.

Jordan Love signed a $220 million contract extension with the Green Bay Packers just a few months ago, so why not ask him to cover your bar tab if you have a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with him?
After a 2023 breakout season culminating in a trip to the Divisional Round, Jordan Love was awarded a new four-year deal worth nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. Throw in endorsements and the pocket change from his rookie deal, and the man will eventually have a $300 million net worth.
YouTube star TravQue recently ran into the Packers quarterback at a bar (the exact date and location aren’t known). In the hilarious exchange, TravQue can be seen trying to convince Love to pick up his bar tab.
TravQue asks the bartender for five bottles of tequila, six bottles of champagne and three bottles of vodka. The popular YouTube personality asks that the drinks be put on Jordan Love’s tab.
TravQue also asks the bartender if he knows who Love is. During the encounter, he continues to push for Love to cover the bill, but the Packers star politely refuses to do so:

Well, it was worth a shot.
Love and the Packers visit the NFC-leading Detroit Lions at Ford Field on “Thursday Night Football.” With a victory, the Packers would move to 10-3 and just a game behind the Lions for the lead in the NFC North.
Jordan Love Is Having A Stellar 2024 Season
The 26-year-old quarterback is having a solid all-around second season as the Packers’ starting quarterback. Despite missing two games to injury, Love has thrown for 2,518 yards and 20 touchdowns in 10 games.
Despite reaching the final eight last year, the Packers have been overlooked for large stretches of 2024. Such is life when you play in the same division as the Lions and 10-2 Minnesota Vikings, but we’re sure that the Packers are more than happy to embrace the underdog role.
