Verne Lewellen— Quarterback
Born: 9/29/1901
Died: 4/16/1980
Played for Team: 1924 to 1932
Verne Lewellen was a talented passer, kicker, and defensive back. But it was as a pass-catcher that he was at his best. In the days when football stars were expected to do a little of everything, Lewellen did more than most.

LaVerne Dilweg — End
Born: 1/11/1903
Died: 1/2/1968
Played for Team: 1927 to 1934
When Verne Lewellen wasn’t catching passes, he was often throwing them to “Lavvie” Dilweg. Dilweg played end on offense and also defense. He was one of the NFL’s best tacklers.

Cal Hubbard — Lineman
Born: 10/31/1900
Died: 10/17/1977
Played for Team: 1929 to 1933 & 1935
Cal Hubbard was a star with the New York Giants, but he did not like life in the big city. He forced the Giants to trade him to Green Bay, and the Packers won three championships in a row. Hubbard was one of the NFL’s biggest linemen and also one of the fastest.

Johnny McNally — Running Back
Born: 11/27/1903
Died: 11/28/1985
Played for Team: 1929 to 1933 & 1935 to 1936
Johnny “Blood” McNally was a perfect fit for the Packers when he joined the club in 1929. He was quick, smart, and daring—and loved catching passes. Green Bay won three NFL titles in his first three seasons, and another when he returned to the team in 1936. McNally’s career inspired the character of Dodge Connolly in the 2008 movie Leatherheads. He was played by George Clooney.

Arnie Herber — Quarterback
Born: 4/2/1910
Died: 10/14/1969
Played for Team: 1930 to 1940
Arnie Herber grew up in Green Bay and dreamed of playing for the Packers. He lived that dream for 11 seasons. Herber used his powerful arm to help the Packers win four championships. He threw more touchdown passes during the 1930s than any other quarterback.

Clarke Hinkle —  Running Back
Born: 4/10/1909
Died: 11/8/1988
Played for Team: 1932 to 1941
Clarke Hinkle was a coach’s dream. He was a swift and powerful runner. He could throw the ball with great accuracy. Hinkle even handled kicking duties for Green Bay. When he left the NFL to fight in World War II, he was the league’s all-time rushing leader.

Cecil Isbell —  Quarterback
Born: 7/11/1915
Died: 6/23/1985
Played for Team: 1938 to 1942
Cecil Isbell was a perfect fit for Curly Lambeau’s offense when he joined the team in 1938. That season Isbell led the Packers in rushing and passing. He worked especially well with receiver Don Hutson. In 1941, Isbell set an NFL record with 1,479 passing yards. In 1942, he smashed his own record with 2,021 passing yards. Isbell retired at the top of his game to coach at Purdue University.

Tony Canadeo — Running Back
Born: 5/5/1919
Died: 11/29/2003
Played for Team: 1941 to 1952
In the years after World War II, the Packers relied on Tony Canadeo to do just about everything. He was just the third runner to gain 1,000 yards in a season, and he also returned kicks and punts. Canadeo was also a star on defense. He worked for the team for many years after retiring and helped the Packers hire Vince Lombardi in 1958.

Billy Howton — Receiver
Born: 7/5/1930
Played for Team: 1952 to 1958
Packer fans thought they might have the next Don Hutson after Billy Howton caught 13 touchdown passes as a rookie in 1952. He did not match those numbers again, but by the time he retired he had broken several of Hutson’s marks. Howton was an All-Pro selection in 1956 and 1957, and played in four Pro Bowl as a Packer.

Jim Ringo — Center
Born: 11/21/1931
Died: 11/19/2007
Played for Team: 1953 to 1963
Jim Ringo was one of the team’s few stars during the 1950s. When Vince Lombardi took over the Packers, he built his running game around Ringo’s quickness and talent. His blocking helped Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor become superstars.

Forrest Gregg — Offensive Lineman
Born: 10/18/1933
Played for Team: 1956 to 1970
Forrest Gregg was too small to overpower most defensive players. Instead, he used his quick feet and great balance to become an All-Pro at both tackle and guard.

Herb Adderley — Defensive back
Born: 6/8/1939
Played for Team: 1961 to 1969
Herb Adderley joined the Packers as a running back. They switched him to cornerback, where his tremendous speed helped him shut down the league’s best receivers. Adderley and safety Willie Wood gave Green Bay the NFL’s top pass defense during the 1960s.

John Brockington — Running Back
Born: 9/7/1948
Played for Team: 1971 to 1977
John Brockington was a powerful runner who loved to crash through tackles and make defenses feel a little pain. He ran for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons—no one in NFL history had done that before. Brockington and teammate MacArthur Lane gave Green Bay one of the top running attacks of the early 1970s.

Ahman Green — Running Back
Born: 2/16/1977
Played for Team: 2000 to 2006 & 2009
After helping his college team win two championships, Ahman Green sat on the bench with the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers got him in a trade, and he was magnificent. Green set a team record with 1,883 rushing yards in 2003 and broke Jim Taylor’s team record for career yards in 2009.

Donald Driver — Receiver
Born: 2/2/1975
Played for Team: 1999 to 2012
Donald Driver went to training camp as an unknown seventh-round draft pick. He made so many amazing catches that the Packers had to keep him on the team. Driver became one of the best receivers in the NFL; in 2011, he passed James Lofton as the club’s all-time leader in receiving yards. He also hosts one of the most popular sports shows on Wisconsin TV, Inside the Huddle.

LAWYERED UP
During the 1920s, teammates Verne Lewellen and Lavvie Dilweg studied law when they weren’t on the playing field. Lewellen served two terms as District Attorney while playing for the Packers. Dilweg became a Congressman and later worked in the U.S. State Department during the 1960s.

BIG BABY
The star blocker for the Packers in the 1930s and 1940s was Buford Ray. He towered over opponents at 6′ 6″ and weighed more than 250 pounds. Ray’s nickname was “Baby.”

SECOND TO NONE
During the early 1960s, Jim Taylor was the NFL’s top runner once and also finished second to Jim Brown four times. However, when their teams met, the Packers won every time—including two championship games.

A HOUSE DIVIDED
A.J. Hawk’s wife, Laura, is the sister of NFL quarterback Brady Quinn. In Hawk’s final college game, he faced Quinn in the Fiesta Bowl—and sacked him twice!
