When a player gets ‘bumped’ from the list they’ll be added to the ‘formerly top 100 ranked honorable mention list.’ This hasn’t occurred yet, but will when the list is updated in August, 2020. So yes, there may be a backlog of talent entering the Packers’ all-time Top 100.

This helps keep a better context to active players that may appear on this list.Įvery time we update this list, every three years, there will be a maximum of three players added. If they stay with the Packers for awhile, they become eligible after their 10th season in Green Bay. For example, if a player leaves the team after their fifth season, they instantly become eligible for the list.
Note: To be on this list a player must be either a former player or an active player with at least 10 seasons played in Green Bay. It will be updated every three years to accommodate new players that may possibly make the list.
The inaugural list was published in the summer of 2017. Which were the biggest band of their era, perhaps of all-time. In some ways we are looking at this countdown in the same way that although Ringo Starr wasn’t the best drummer in the world in his era, but he was, without a doubt, the best drummer for the Beatles. This list is the top 100 Green Bay Packers of all-time. Like we said, this was more of an art than a science. Thus, these aren’t necessarily the top 100 football players to ever play in Green Bay or strictly the most talented. With that said, we maintain that just because a certain player is ranked higher on this list than another player at the same position doesn’t mean we think they were a better player necessarily - we just think that their influence on the culture in Green Bay was more significant. We also attempted to quantify the leadership and other intangibles possessed by all players that made our preliminary list of all-time Packers (which was over 200 players).įrom those 200 players considered, the list was whittled down to what you see today. Of course we valued–and appropriately weighed–championships, statistics, individual honors and significant moments or plays made by every player on our list. With that question at the front of our mind’s we assembled this top 100 countdown. We asked ourselves: How significantly did this player influence the unparalleled history, and culture, of the Green Bay Packers? For months the players on this list were debated and argued, but ultimately ranked using one criteria above the rest. There was as much research conducted as there were rough drafts rewritten. The idea was hatched while sitting around a summer campfire, but then the work started. This countdown isn’t scientific, but it wasn’t haphazardly thrown together either. Some may agree with where certain players are ranked, others are certain to disagree. This list wasn’t put together for any specific agenda, other than for the enjoyment of Green Bay fans. There are so many notable names jostling for remembrance in the team’s remarkable history that a list such as this as subjective as it is respectful to all generations of Packers’ players. The franchise has been around for a century and has won a championship in a record six different decades. It is updated by us every three years as things change.Īs you know, the history of the Green Bay Packers is incredibly vast. This top 100 list was first created in 2016 and then first published in 2017. In 2018 the Packers celebrated their 100th season, in 2019 the NFL celebrated its 100th season and in 2020 the Packers celebrated their 100th season in the NFL - here we’ve compiled the 100 greatest Packers of all-time. Hello there Packers fans, we’re glad to go on this historical journey with you.
