John Brockington made an immediate impact with the Green Bay Packers winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Brockington’s first three seasons saw him rush for over 1,000 Yards but his powerful style caught up to him and his next three years saw a decline in his production. Still, he had over 6,000 Yards from Scrimmage for the Packers with 32 Touchdowns.
Brockington entered the Packers Hall of Fame in 1984.
