Nelson Toburen, a linebacker who won two NFL championships with the Green Bay Packers under coach Vince Lombardi, has died at 87 after a battle with cancer.

Toburen played during the Lombardi era, a standout chapter in Packers history. The team dominated professional football during those years, and Toburen was a part of that period of dominance.

After his playing career ended, Toburen went on to serve as a judge in Kansas, a role that defined much of his later life.
