I thought the Packers were founded in 1919 by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun?

Indeed. The Packers are actually older than the NFL. They played in some other league for a couple of years. I believe their first game was against the Menominee North End.

But notice how big his hands are for his body...no wonder he pulled so many passes in.

That pic is from the early 40's. 40 - 43, somewhere in there.

The 1922 date is when the Packers were re-admitted into the NFL. The Packs first NFL season was 1921. They were tossed out at the end of the '21 season after George Halas of the Bears ratted 'em out for using College players in league games. Halas squealed because he was doing the same thing.

Curly borrowed money from friend, applied for reinstatement and the league let 'em back in. If they wanna say '22 is the start, that's fine. There were a lot "starts" to the Green Bay Packers.
