One of the early stars of the Green Bay Packers, Verne Lewellen was an all-purpose Back who did it all for Green Bay.  The product of Nebraska (the state and the University) would be named to four straight First Team All-Pro squads (1926 to 1929) and was a large part of their three consecutive NFL Championships (1929 to 1931).  Lewellen would later be the Packers General Manager from 1954 to 1958 and entered the Packers Hall of Fame in 1970 as part of the first class.

After having a smaller role with the Packers his first three seasons, Jordy Nelson would become a starter in 2011 after having a good post-season assisting Green Bay win Super Bowl XLV.  2011 would see Nelson accrue his first 1,000 Yard Receiving season, where he would turn heads with a 15 Touchdown campaign.  Nelson would again exceed the 1,000 Yard mark in 2013 and in 2014 he would have his most productive year with a career high 1,519 Yards, a Second Team All-Pro Selection and a Pro Bowl nod.  A torn ACL took him out of 2015 but he would have his fourth and final 1,000 Yard season in a Comeback Player of the Year Award.  He also had 14 Touchdown Receptions, which led the league.

A member of the Green Bay Packers for all 11 of his NFL seasons, Bill Forester had a strong first half where he bounced between Middle Guard and Left Linebacker but in his second half, he would become a star of the game.  Playing at Right Linebacker, Forester was named to the Pro Bowl in four straight seasons (1959 to 1962) with the last three of them seeing him named a First Team All-Pro.  Forester was a large part of the Packers Championship win in 1961 and 1962 and he would have 21 Interceptions over his career.

Green Bay inducted Forester into their Hall of Fame in 1974.

From Rice University, Billy Howton made an immediate impact as a rookie for Green Bay.  He would be named to the Pro Bowl while leading the National Football League in Receiving Yards (1,231), which is still a team record for a rookie.  Howton would stay a top Wide Receiver in the NFL and he would receive Pro Bowl honors in 1955, 1956, and 1957, the latter two seeing him earn First Team All-Pro Selections.  1956 was especially sweet as he would again lead the NFL in Receiving Yards and for the first time ever, he was the leader in Touchdown Receptions.  Howton would be a four-time Pro Bowl Selection.
