Nitschke would lead Green Bay to five Championships while becoming a first ballot Hall of Famer.
When you think of Pro Football Hall of Famers from the defensive side of the ball, it is next to impossible to come up with a player who is held in higher regard than Ray Nitschke. Bart Starr was the best name ever for a Quarterback, but isn’t Ray Nitschke just as appropriate for a Linebacker?
Canton chose Nitschke for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1978, the same year that the Packers elected him into their Hall. In 1986, Green Bay retired his number 66.
