Mayfield Sports Marketing has partnered with dozens of athletes and other businesses throughout the years. One of our most valued partnerships is that which we share with Radtke Sports, a leading source of authentic autographed memorabilia, fundraising, and marketing services since 1999. Most recently, Radtke Sports and Mayfield Sports Marketing worked together to bring about a very special event. Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard held his first private signing event in over two years at D2 Sports Bar and Grill on Oct. 15. Through our partnership, we were able to help Packers and Iowa State fans meet one of their favorite players.
It goes without saying, that this is certainly par for the course for our friends over at Radtke Sports. They are fortunate enough to work with professional athletes all across the country. In fact, next week they will hold their second private signing of the year with Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird. Other athletes who have worked with Radtke Sports include Rob Gronkowski, Brett Favre, Jerry West, Steve Young, and Mike Trout. In addition, they also held a private signing event with Packers first-round pick Quay Walker earlier this year.
“I feel very blessed to see how God has helped this business grow,” Matt Helmes, the owner of Radtke Sports, said. “I’m just a guy who loves sports and I have been fortunate to be able to make it into a career. We love connecting fans to their favorite athletes and seeing the memories made at each event.”
Events coordinated by Radtke Sports are never a disappointment. Attendees of their signings subsequently agree:
“Guys are the out there to get items signed. I get all my Terrell Davis done with them and they NEVER disappoint AT ALL. I highly recommend using them for ALL your Sports Memorabilia needs!!!!!”
“Company is top notch! Prices are great! Ask for Derek if you want anything!”
“Top shelf ethical company interested in protecting athletes and their public presence from fraudulent activity. Great business ethics are backed by exceptionally experienced and knowledgeable ownership and staff making my choices of items easy and exciting! Thank you, Mike, Derek, Drew and Co. for all your help in setting this up!”

Gilbert Brown and Antonio Freeman, who were both on the Super Bowl XXXI Green Bay Packers team, continued the tradition of the Gilbert Brown Tailgate Party at Stadium View Bar and Grill before every Packers home game. Despite the Packers' loss to the Jets, fans were thrilled to meet up with two of their favorite former players.
Antonio Freeman made the trip in for the game from his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When asked why he keeps coming back to Green Bay, Freeman said:
“You know, you always want to be where you’re remembered. When I’m at home, I’m just the guy that takes out his garbage. But here, I am a legend. People remember what I did, what we as a team did. I am thankful for the fans and their amazing support.”
Mayfield Sports Marketing has partnered with Antonio Freeman numerous times over the years, and always enjoys working with the former Packers' receiver.
"I've been working with Mark for, oh wow, almost 10 years – since 2012 I think," he said. "He always puts together great events, good to see the guys again, and interact with the fans."
Mayfield Sports Marketing is proud to have been bringing the Gilbert Brown Tailgate Party to Stadium for some years now. Of course, Brown hosts the party. Yet, fellow Packers alumni often join him. Previous guests of the Gilbert Brown Tailgate Party before Antonio Freeman include Ahman Green, Dorsey Levens, Jerry Kramer, Santana Dotson, and many more legends.
“Gilbert Brown and his team from Mayfield Sports Marketing are here for every home game making Stadium view one of the best spots to tailgate in town," Amber Stadium View Manager said. "They pump up the crowd and make it a special experience by talking directly to the fans! Great to work with them for legends autograph events and more. We love having Gilbert and 'friends' here!”

Allen Lazard, the current Green Bay Packers’ team leader in receiving touchdowns in 2022, held his first public signing in two years at the D2 Sports Bar and Grill across the street from historic Lambeau Field. Mayfield Sports Marketing was proud to partner with Radtke Sports to make the event with Packers Allen Lazard possible.
Green Bay Packers fans and Iowa State fans alike attended the event, which took place on October 15. In addition to the public signing, Lazard signed 100's of pieces of Packers memorabilia that can be purchased at Radtke Sports.
Lazard also took the time during the signing to explain what makes Green Bay such a special and unique place among NFL cities.
“Green Bay, it really feels like a college town, the way fans get excited and support their team,” Lazard said. “It’s such a special place to play. New York, L.A., they don’t have this kind of feel.”
In his fifth year with the Packers Allen Lazard has four touchdowns in five games played so far this season. He has made highlight reels with his creative celebrations. This includes an ayahuasca tea party with Randall Cobb and a meditation session with Romeo Doubs.
“I plan on scoring a lot more touchdowns this year, so I gotta keep coming up with some fun ideas,” Lazard said.

However, did you know that Mayfield Sports Marketing can also connect organizations, people, and businesses with college or NFL coaches?
Hall of Fame NFL head coach Dick Vermiel partnered with Mayfield Sports Marketing upon his induction to the Football Hall of Fame. MSM, along with Radtke Sports, was able to schedule and book events and signings with the legendary coach.

The Green Bay Packers struck gold when they signed linebacker De’Vondre Campbell as a free agent last season. Training camp had already begun when Campbell signed a one-year deal worth $2 million with the Packers. Very few could have predicted what happened next.
It wasn’t that De’Vondre Campbell didn’t have offers in free agency. It was that he did not have any offers from teams he felt were a good fit. When the Green Bay Packers called, Campbell knew he the right team had finally called. Players certainly know defensive coordinator Joe Barry for his work with linebackers, and Campbell was a perfect fit.
What followed was the best season of De’Vondre Campbell’s career. He had a career-high 146 total tackles, including 102 solo. Campbell also had six tackles for loss, six quarterback hits, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Additionally, Campbell had five pass deflections while allowing just a 74.9 passer rating when targeted.
Voters named De’Vondre Campbell First-Team All-Pro for his efforts. The Packers also gave him a five-year $50-million contract to keep him in Green Bay long-term.
Every year, NFL.com ranks the top 100 players in the league before the regular season kicks off. This year, only two Green Bay Packers players made the list. Of course, Aaron Rodgers made it. The other Packers player was De’Vondre Campbell, who was ranked 49th. Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver and friend of Mayfield Sports Marketing, Davante Adams, also made the list.
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14-12 in their Week 3 matchup of the 2022 season. They might not have escaped the heat of Florida with the win if it had not been for the heroics of De’Vondre Campbell.
After the Bucs had scored a touchdown, making the score 14-12, they went for two with 14 seconds remaining in the game. Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady rolled out and threw a pass on the right side towards the end zone. Campbell made a play on the ball after reading it from the snap. Campbell leaped and tipped the pass away, preserving the lead and the game for the Packers.
After the game, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called Campbell a special player. When asked about Rodgers’ comments, Campbell said the following on this week's "Clubhouse Live," a Mayfield Sports Marketing-partnered event:
“Just the respect level I have for him is immense. So for him to say something like that, you know, he doesn’t know how much it means to me because I’ve always said that in my humble opinion, he’s the best quarterback that I’ve ever seen.”

Packers Hall of Famer Gilbert Brown has become a known member of the Wisconsin community, constantly making appearances at charity events. This weekend was no different as he and Mayfield Sports Marketing once again traveled to Brookfield, Wisconsin to help Tricia's Troops bring relief and support to families affected by cancer.
Cancer is such an awful disease. Not only does it drain a person’s body of their health, youth, and vigor, but it strains those suffering from it and their families in other ways. Chances are that you, yourself, have had or have had a loved one experience cancer. Undoubtedly, their physical sufferings, along with the emotional, mental, and spiritual tolls of the disease and its treatment, are all-too-familiar.
Such was the case for Tricia Wright. A native of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, Tricia was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer on January 16, 2010. Additionally, her diagnosis included metastasis to her liver and lungs. At the time, Tricia was 35, married, and the mother of two little girls. While her prognosis was not good, Tricia and her family opted to fight the disease with chemotherapy.
As many know, chemotherapy is not an easy treatment. Members of her church, Dr. Martin Luther Church, provided her and her family with cards and meals. Eventually, they became known as Tricia’s Troops. Per the Tricia’s Troops website, "Tricia and her family realized that the support they received from their friends and community was not something that all cancer patients and families received."
For this reason, Tricia and her husband started a non-profit organization called Tricia’s Troops Cancer Connection. Their goal was to provide the love and support they received after her diagnosis to every family affected by cancer.
Tricia Wright died on April 26, 2012, 15 months after her diagnosis. Her legacy of kindness and care for others certainly lives on in the foundation that she started.
Gilbert surprises Kara Mayfield on her first anniversary of beating breast cancer with a gift.
Mayfield Sports Marketing and Packers legend Gilbert Brown were proud to once again partner with Tricia’s Troops. Together, they helped raise money to bring relief and support to families affected by cancer.
On Saturday, Sept. 17, Gilbert and Mark Mayfield joined Tricia's Troops in Brookfield, Wisconsin for a charity event that has raised over $100,000 at an event in previous years.
“We are absolutely honored and humbled to work with Candi, Bill, and the entire Wright family on the Tricia’s Troops events," Mark said. "Packers legend Gilbert Brown, and I have attended the event since 2015. The work that they do is very inspiring, and we are proud to assist in their mission.”
This is a continuation of Mark's non-profit work. In the past, he has worked with players such as, Ahman Green, Hall of Famer Leroy Butler, Hall of Famer Jerry Kramer, Hall of Famer Dave Robinson, Kenny Clark and Olympians Bonnie Blair and Chellsie Memmel.
In addition, if you or someone you love is facing a battle with cancer, please visit the Tricia’s Troops Programs page on their website.

For many years, "Clubhouse Live" has been hosted by numerous Green Bay Packers stars and alumni. This season, The Clubhouse Kitchen and Bar inside the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley Hotel once again welcomes the weekly show. This season, Packers All-Pro linebacker De’Vondre Campbell and second-year wide receiver Amari Rodgers will co-host the show.
The previous host of "Clubhouse Live" was Ahman Green, who appeared on the show on September 5 to get the audience amped up for the Packers-Vikings game.
During the show, Brett Christopherson asked the two Packers players if they had any message for Ricardo. Ricardo is a producer of the show and a Chicago Bears fan. To answer this question, De’Vondre Campbell said, “Sit back and enjoy the show.” Amari Rodgers responded, “I say, ‘Ditto.’”
Campbell and Rodgers also spent some time recapping the Packers' loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Campbell was quick to “tip the cap” to Minnesota and said that “they made plays that we didn’t.” He also named the date of the next Packers-Vikings matchup, Jan. 1, 2023.
One interesting segment towards the end of "Clubhouse Live" was where the two Packers players answered the question, “What do you do before the game on game days?” De’Vondre Campbell stated that he sleeps all day, even though his wife isn’t necessarily OK with it. “She understands, though," he joked. "After seven years, we have an understanding.” He explained that he used to sit around, waiting for late games, so sleep is how he passes the time.
On the other hand, Amari Rodgers is a little more active. This makes sense as he has a baby boy who was also present at the show. “I take a nap for sure, but I also try to spend some time with family, and really treat it like any other day.” He explained that he does not like to “make the moment bigger than it is.” So acting like it’s a normal day helps him to keep himself calm.
Mayfield Sports Marketing is an official partner of "Clubhouse Live." The show is hosted on Mondays during the season.

The Green Bay Packers selected Amari Rodgers with the third-round draft pick (85th overall) in 2021. While he did not see much of the field during his rookie season, Rodgers is ready and confident to make an impact in his second year in the NFL. Before the Packers' season kicked off Sunday, several members of the Packers’ coaching staff and team noticed a difference in the second-year wide receiver.
When the Packers first drafted Amari Rodgers, his previous connection to Green Bay became public knowledge, at least to fans. The two players drew easy comparisons as they both play the slot wide receiver position. However, a little digging unearthed a fascinating connection.
Randall Cobb played his college football at the University of Kentucky. His wide receiver coach there was Tee Martin, Amari Rodgers’ father. Rodgers grew up watching Randall Cobb play and modeled his game after his.
As Cobb, Rodgers, and the other Packers players participated in various team activities, it became apparent that Amari Rodgers was ready to take the next step in the NFL. When speaking to Packers wide receiver coach Jason Vrable, Cobb stated: “Yo, you can feel it from him.”
Randall Cobb is entering his 12th year in the NFL. If he is excited about what a player is doing, it is an excellent sign of things to come.
Jason Vrable, the Packers wide receivers coach, addressed the media in late May regarding what he had seen from Amari Rodgers. He was also asked why Rodgers did not receive more playing time in 2021. To that, Vrable said,
“I don’t give Amari [Rodgers] the out that [Cobb] was here. It’s your job to beat Randall out or beat our Z out. Even though he plays the slot, I’ve got him working out at Z, and he’s done that before. His performance just wasn’t on their level. That’s just the reality of it, right? It wasn’t that he was bad, but he wasn’t doing the high-level things that Randall was doing or the Z, Lazard.”
While this is a brutally honest answer that can come from none other than a football coach, it does highlight how talented the Packers' wide receivers are as a whole. This, of course, includes Allen Lazard, a proud partner of Mayfield Sports Marketing.
While Vrable’s response pointed out growing pains, he did express excitement for what Amari Rodgers has brought to team activities:
“His route-running is already cleaner and crisper. I feel really good about Amari. It’s just the start right now. We’ll see where he’s at when the pads come on, and the lights go on.”
Amari Rodgers came into the NFL behind Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, and Randall Cobb on the Packers' wide receiver depth chart. With limited playing time, Rodgers had four receptions for 45 yards in 2021.
Now, in 2022, Davante Adams is playing for the Las Vegas Raiders. In addition, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though the Packers drafted three new wide receivers in the 2022 NFL Draft, and signed Sammy Watkins, Amari Rodgers has the perfect opportunity to crack into the regular lineup. If what Cobb and Vrable are seeing is a reality, then Rodgers is in for a special season.

Rasul Douglas knows what it is like to move around a lot. From November 2, 2020, to October 6, 2021, he played for or was on the practice squad of four different NFL teams. After spending the first three seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles (and winning a Super Bowl), Douglas played for the Carolina Panthers in 2020.
Following the 2020 season, Rasul Douglas signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. They decided to release him, though, during the 2021 preseason. After his release, he spent time on the practice squads of the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals.
Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers had a cornerback problem. Despite having Eric Stokes and Jaire Alexander, both partners of Mayfield Sports, the team needed a boost in the secondary. Alexander hurt his shoulder and was out for the remainder of the season. As a result, the Packers plucked Rasul Douglas off of the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad and thrust him into action.
Ironically, the first game Douglas played for the Packers was against the Arizona Cardinals. The back-and-forth contest saw the Packers lose Robert Tonyan to a torn ACL. Green Bay was already short-handed with Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling all out.
Fortunately, the Packers have Aaron Rodgers, and he helped give the Packers the lead late in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals got the ball back with less than two minutes left in the game and proceeded to march down the field. Then, with the clock winding down, Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray threw to A.J. Green in the end zone. Rasul Douglas picked the ball cleanly, consequently clinching the victory for the Green Bay Packers.
Not only did Douglas’ interception seal the win, but he also led the Packers' defense with nine tackles and two passes defended. It was a sign of things to come.
Rasul Douglas missed the 2021 Pro Bowl in votes. However, they voted him in as a Pro Bowl alternate. Had he been able to play a full season with the Packers, he almost certainly would have been voted into the contest. Perhaps he would have even been named an All-Pro.
In 12 games (nine starts) with the Green Bay Packers, Rasul Douglas had 57 total tackles, 13 passes defended, and five interceptions. Douglas returned two of these interceptions for touchdowns. His two defensive touchdowns led the NFL.
While these stats look great, they do not tell the full story of how great Douglas is. The advanced stats show how much of a game-changer Douglas was for the Green Bay Packers.
In 2021, Rasul Douglas allowed just 32 receptions on 64 targets. His 5.5 yards allowed per target were by far the best in his career. Ironically, Douglas scored just as many touchdowns himself (two) as he gave up to opposing wide receivers. Perhaps the most impressive stat of all, though, is that quarterbacks had a rating of just 44.5 when targeting Douglas.
After the Green Bay Packers exited the playoff early, Rasul Douglas’ contract with the team was up. In his postseason press conference, he expressed to the media that he wanted to return to the Packers, “If they will have me.” He previously had expressed this desire to Matt LaFleur privately.
Fortunately, the Green Bay Packers felt the same way and offered Rasul Douglas a three-year $21 million contract. Now, the Packers' defense boasts Douglas, Alexander, and Stokes as their top three cornerbacks, certainly the best trio in the NFL.
