Packers that should be in the NFL Hall of Fame - anyone ?

[packerpete]

LBer Fred Strickland played 30 games for us in 1994-95.

The 20th pick (47th overall in the 2nd rd.) out of Purdue, by the LA Rams in 1988 he played 5 seasons there. Fred Strickland was a solid LBer in the NFC for 12 NFL Season's, with stops in Minnesota, Green Bay, Dallas and ending his career in Washington.

When freddy was in G.B., the fans generally complained about him. He looked kinda slow, but he was actually pretty effective at clogging the middle. He was the most generic player I could think up, I was just being a wise guy, which is my normal m.o.

There are terms other than "wise guy" for that...

KYPack - Holmgren? Not a chance unless he gets back to the Super Bowl and wins some in the next few years. He had a nice career in GB, but didn' really do anything in Seattle until this year, was about .500 and even perceived as underachieving with the talent he had at Seattle.

Yeah, Holmy is a stretch. If he were to win a SB, he's in. I think he might get in if he merely makes another appearance. The Seachicks are the NFC favorite to got to the big game. If they do, MH ties Marv Levy with 4 appearance, but trumps him with one win. That gets MH in, IMVHO.

Guard Jerry Kramer, who played during the glory Lombardi years, should be in the Hall of Fame. Not only was he an outstanding offensive lineman, he was an influential team leader.

Have to agree, Kramer was the best OT ever......

Dillon
Kramer
Favre (It'll be awhile, I know)

Darkhorses
Ron Wolf He has a lot of pals around the league & his GB turnaround is legendary
LeRoy Butler A stellar safety. Inventin' the Leap outta get you something
Bob Harlan He was the the wheel in the Packer turnaround
Unca Mikey Holmgren Probably as many on here don't want him to make it as those of us who'd like to see him in. 3 Superbowls and winning 1 is an accomplishment. He's probably is the darkest of these horses

Butler should have his number retired by the Packers. It is a shame Nick Collins is wearing #36

#36 will always be Leroy Butler in my minds eye.

** 12 excellent years of service with OUR team.

** Today they go for laser surgery but once Leroy got those contact lenses on . My Oh my, did he ever come on, as the picks followed.

** In 1993, in a game Vs. the Raiders, instead of the dances we see today Leroy did something a little different. Leaping into the endzone bleachers and 'the lambeau Leap' was born.There is little better for this Packer fan then seeing a Packer get his first TD, and flying up into the crowd to the adoration of the fans priveleged to offer their congrat's.

** To me, Leroy Butler = the Safety Blitz . We knew it was coming and it was unstoppable.

** Leroy Butler was a very unselfish player.He took a couple of pay cuts for the team and he was a leader with the ability to give pep talks that helped propell the Packers to victories. He was popular with the fans and willing to give out autograps to the many fans who loved him.

** In those 12 Seasons Leroy Butler started 165 games (dressed for 181).He had 38 picks and 20.5 QB Sacks and 3 TD's.

** Butler played in Super bowls XXXI and XXXII and wears one ring and made Five Pro Bowls.

** Since his retirement Leroy Butler has been an NFL analyst and wrote for Packers.Com.

** Leroy Butler has been involved in the fight against breast cancer raising funds with the LeRoy Butler Foundation.

Careful, Bro. Yer startin' to sound like Tank.

Kramer was a great HOF quality Guard. RG, to be exact.

Forrest Gregg was the greatest T ever.
