Green Bay Packers – Don Hutson

The history of the Green Bay Packers is one of the richest in professional football, as their journey started in 1919, and is still going today. In fact, the Packers are the franchise who owns the distinction of being the longest-tenured team to play in their original city.

The Packers are old school, as evident by the fact that the fans own the team. They have seen incredible success over the history of the franchise, winning the first two Super Bowls, and putting good football on the field nearly every season over the past two decades.

In fact, the Packers were so good early on that the Super Bowl trophy is actually named after their former head coach, Vince Lombardi. While those teams were solid, the jersey that is the must-have for Packers fans is the one they donned back in 1937, and made a comeback during the NFL’s 75th anniversary season in 1994.

Overall, the Packers have been one of those franchises that are known all over the world, and have produced some of the most iconic quarterbacks in the history of the game. From Bart Starr, to Brett Favre, and now Aaron Rodgers, the men they have employed under center are some of the best to ever do it, and Rodgers is still in his prime.

The 2018 Packers have their work cut out for them, but they do have Rodgers back in 2018, after breaking his collarbone and missing most of last season. The Minnesota Vikings have a stranglehold on the division right now heading into the season, but with Rodgers under center, you can never count this franchise out.
