5. Lavvie Dilweg

Lavvie Dilweg was a star at Marquette, and he would keep his athletic talents in the state of Wisconsin, as he signed with the Milwaukee Badgers in 1926. The stay in Milwaukee was short-lived as the team folded that year.  He would travel north and join the Green Bay Packers in 1927, an organization he played for until 1934.  Dilweg was considered to be one of the most complete players of his era, a time frame in which the football players performed at both ends, and his peers viewed him as one of the top tacklers and blockers of his day.  Stats back then were not well kept, but he was also a decent offensive weapon, and overall, he helped the Green Bay Packers win three consecutive NFL Championships (1929, 1930 & 1931).
