April 6th, 2022 marks the 29-year anniversary of the Green Bay Packers landing EDGE Reggie White in NFL free agency so it’s a great time to look at the top 5 Green Bay Packers players of all time with him almost cracking the list with an honorable mention.



The Green Bay Packers have been around for over 100 years and have brought some of the greatest names to the NFL family. They’re arguably the most historic franchise in all of football with Vince Lombardi leading the Pack to five Championship victories over a seven-year span, including winning the first two Super Bowls ever. This succeeded Curly Lambeau’s great reign as HC with six Championships to his name.

The Modern Era Packers haven’t been nearly as successful as the retro squads but each of their two greatest players ever were able to bring one Lombardi Trophy back to Titletown. Here are some of the names that helped bring 13 NFL championships and four Super bowls to Green Bay, Wisconsin. Honorable mention includes: DB Herb Adderley, DL Willie Davis, OG Jerry Kramer, and EDGE Reggie White.


Here are the top 5 greatest Green Bay Packers of all time. Create your own rankings below! 

PSO Rankings

1
QB Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers’ Packers facts:

– Packers PASS TD (449) & Season PASS TD (48) leader

– NFL career PASS TD-INT ratio (4.75:1) leader

– SB 45 Champ & MVP, 10x Pro Bowl, 4x All-Pro, 4x MVP

 

Did Packers’ fans ever think there would be another Favre or Starr? Aaron Rodgers went above and beyond what the 2 HOF QB’s accomplished with one of the best arm talents NFL fans have ever seen and entrenched himself as an all-time Packers great.

2
QB Brett Favre

Brett Favre’s Packers facts:

– Most consecutive GS (297) by a QB in NFL history

– Packers career leader in PASS YDS (61,655) & GWD (37)

– 11x Pro Bowl, SB 31 Champ, Most consecutive MVPs (3)

 

Originally drafted by the Atlanta Falcons, this 2016 HOF inductee gave memories to Packers fans they won’t ever forget. Bringing a Lombardi back to GB for the first time in almost 30 years, the sling-shooting arm of Brett Favre revolutionized the game with his backyard-esque style of play.

3
QB Bart Starr

Bart Starr’s Packers facts:

– 2x SB Champ and Super Bowl MVP in SB 1 and 2

– HOF, 1966 MVP, 4x Pro Bowl, 4x NFL PASS RTG leader

– GB #15 retired, 3rd most Packers TD (152) & YDS (24,718)

 

Drafted by the Packers and stayed by Green Bay’s side for his full 16-year career, Starr was the first superstar in Packers history and really began the story of NFL Super Bowl victories. Starr was one of the greatest and why No.15 will never be worn on a player’s jersey in Green Bay again.

4
WR/DB Don Hutson

Don Hutson’s Packers facts:

– 8x All-Pro 1st Team, 3x NFL Champion, 2x NFL MVP

– 9x NFL REC TD, 3x XPM, & 1940 INT leader

– #14 jersey retired by Packers, NFL 100th-anniversary team

 

Don Hutson’s number 14 was retired for his play as one of the greatest players to ever put points on the Green and Yellow. His versatility as a WR, Kicker, and DB is unmatched in the history of the game which is why he’s cemented as one of the NFL’s 100 greatest players ever.

5
OL Forrest Gregg

Forrest Gregg’s Packers facts:

– 9x Pro Bowl, 7x All-Pro, 3x Super Bowl champ

– HOF, NFL 1960s All-Decade, NFL 100th anniversary team

– 2nd most All-Pros (7) & Pro Bowls (9) in Packers history

 

Forrest Gregg was one of, if not the greatest to ever block the enemy in Packers history as he compiled a whopping seven All-Pro 1st Teams and nine Pro Bowls during his magnificent prime. At 250 lbs, Gregg was a brick wall during the 1960s.
