Lawrence Abraham Buhler (May 28, 1917 – August 21, 1990) was a fullback/halfback in the National Football League (NFL) who played 21 games for the Green Bay Packers. He played for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers under Bernie Bierman.[1] In 1939, the Green Bay Packers used the ninth pick in the first round of the 1939 NFL draft to sign Buhler out of the University of Minnesota.[2] Buhler played for three seasons with the Packers and retired in 1941. Buhler ended his working career as the manager of the municipal liquor store in Windom, Minnesota.[3] He worked as assistant manager and manager for 16 years and 8 months before retiring at the end of 1983.[3] A statue of Buhler was erected on the grounds of the Cottonwood County Courthouse and was dedicated in 1993.[1]
