Lavvie Dilweg
Lavvie Dilweg, who was was the Packers' best receiver before Don Hutson arrived, is one of two members of the NFL's all-1920s team not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Dilweg was a football star at Marquette University in the 1920s and spent one season with the NFL's Milwaukee Badgers. After that team folded in 1926, he signed with the Packers and was an All-Pro player for all but one of his eight seasons with the Packers.
He was chosen as a member of the Packers' all-time teams in 1946, 1957 and 1969.
He went into the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in Milwaukee in 1967 and was one of the charter members of the Packers Hall of Fame in 1970.
Bob Dilweg, 74, lives in Bethesda, Md. If his dad's name doesn't ring a bell, maybe his son's name does. Anthony Dilweg played quarterback for the Packers in 1989 and 1990.
Back to Lavvie, though. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder played end on offense and defense, and legendary NFL running back Red Grange called Dilweg "the greatest end who ever brought me down."
