Fans can find profiles of the nominees and vote for their choice on packers.com/fhof. Voters will be entered into a random drawing to win Packers merchandise, according to a release. The voting deadline is midnight, Jan. 31.

In addition to being added to the list of FAN Hall of Famers, the winner will receive club seats to a 2021 Packers home game, a $500 Packers Pro Shop gift certificate, a road trip to a 2021 Packers away game and a one-year subscription to Packer Plus.
