The Green Bay Packers are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history, so cracking their all-time Mount Rushmore is extremely difficult.
The idea of the all-time Mount Rushmore is a challenging one for most NFL teams, but the Green Bay Packers have such an embarrassment of riches that they could form about five of them. The Packers racked up a whopping 11 NFL titles before the AFL-NFL merger and four Super Bowl trophies, making them one of the most successful teams in football history.
Vince Lombardi’s Packers’ teams were littered with Hall-of-Famers, including the likes of Bart Starr, Jerry Kramer, Paul Hornung, Ray Nitschke, Forrest Gregg and Willie Davis. Quarterbacks Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers obviously deserve their fair share of accolades while modern stars like Reggie White certainly have a fair case to belong on the list.
A lot of those names we just mentioned, including a ton more who we didn’t, fell short of making the Packers’ all-time Mount Rushmore. Which four players made the cut for the greatest players in Green Bay history?
Make sure you read on to find out, but we’ll start out the mountain with a look at one of the key performers in Green Bay’s resurgence in the mid-1990s.
