Bobby Dillon’s career spanned only eight years, but they were all spent with the Green Bay Packers. The 94 games he put on the cleats with Green Bay were more than enough for him to set (and still hold) the franchise record for interceptions. Dillon would also be named a First Team All-Pro in four of the eight seasons he played.
Not a bad career for someone who was alleged to have only one working eye.
Dillon was chosen for the Packers Hall of Fame in 1974 and finally, in 2020 he was chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
