Green Bay Packers fans are everywhere, even Middlebury, Connecticut, where first-grade teacher Ashley Christensen might be creating more.
Christensen is Green Bay’s Fan of the Year and nominee to be NFL Fan of the Year. The contest celebrates football fans whose fandom go above and beyond to inspire others. The winner will be announced during Super Bowl week in February.
Packers fans have had good results in recent contests. Tom Grossi was named the NFL Fan of the Year for 2023, while Matthias Kraus won the German NFL Fan of the Year award and was the Packers’ International Fan of the Year nominee for 2024. Both Grossi and Krause announced draft picks from the stage during the 2025 NFL Draft held at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
Voting is open until Feb. 4. Fans can vote here.
Christensen, who was born and raised in Connecticut, uses the Packers’ season to teach first-graders.
