A true jack of all trades, Arnie Herber took a strange trip to football stardom.  Herber, a native of Green Bay who only played two years of college football was working as the clubhouse’s handyman and received a tryout from Curly Lambeau, who saw something in the kid, and boy was he right!

Herber would become the main Quarterback and would three times lead the league in passing.  The tradesman turner football player would be part of four NFL Championships and would enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1966 and the Packers Hall of Fame in 1972.
