15. Jim Ringo

Jim Ringo played most of his Hall of Fame career with the Green Bay Packers and it was there that he started 126 of 131 games.  Ringo made seven of his ten Pro Bowls and all six of his First Team All Pros as a Green Bay Packer.

Canton called his name in 1981, while the Packers inducted him into their Hall in 1974.
Credited with inventing the “Lambeau Leap” (which alone qualifies him for any all-time great Green Bay Packers list) Leroy Butler was a career Green Bay Packer who was the first Defensive Back to join the 20/20 (Quarterbacks and Interceptions) club.  Butler would earn a Super Bowl Ring and along with his four First Team All-Pro nods, he was also chosen for the prestigious NFL1990’s All-Decade Team.

Butler entered the Packers Hall of Fame in 2007 and was chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022.
Twice leading the NFL in Yards/Reception, James Lofton was the Packers number one Wide Receiver for years, making the Pro Bowl seven of his nine years in Lambeau.  Lofton would exceed 1,100 Yards five times in Green Bay, and after he left the team he would become the first player in history to break 14,000 Yards.  Lofton would enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003, three years after his Packers Hall of Fame induction.
One of the most versatile players in Green Bay Packers history, Tony Canadeo did it all for the team.  A NFL Champion in 1944, Canadeo would become the third player in the NFL to rush for over 1,000 Yards, and the first Packer to do so.  He would play good defense, was their kick returner and occasionally was used at Quarterback.  He is one of six players to have his number retired by the team, and he entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1974, a year after he entered the Packers Hall of Fame.  Grene Bay also retired his number #3 in 1953, the first in franchise history.
