Lavvie Dilweg was a celebrated athlete who played for Marquette before signing with the Milwaukee Badgers in 1926. Unfortunately, the team folded that year. However, Dilweg's career continued as he joined the Green Bay Packers in 1927 and played for them until 1934. Dilweg was considered to be one of the most versatile players of his time, and his peers regarded him as one of the top tacklers and blockers. Although statistics were not well-kept in those days, it is believed he had 27 Interceptions and was a constant behind his opponent’s line of scrimmage; Dilweg was also a decent offensive player, using his quickness to evade tacklers. He helped his team win three consecutive NFL Championships (1929, 1930 & 1931).

Dilweg was named to the 1920s All-Decade Team and was a First-Team All-Pro for five consecutive years (1927 to 1931). Despite these accolades, he was never even nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which is considered a curious omission to many. While some Green Bay fans champion other players for the Hall of Fame, Lavvie Dilweg is the biggest snub. However, the fact that he was named a Finalist by the Centennial Slate Class offers a little hope for the future, though not much.
