[QUOTE="paulska, post: 544920, member: 557"] My favourite Packer ever was Reggie White. His signing made it possible for Ron Wolf to get good value out of free agency, which was a major factor in the reshaping of this team from a 30 year punching bag to a perennial playoff team. His play on the field was unmatched- I still can't think of another DE who could take over a game for as long in his career has Reggie did- some have done it for spurts, but not for over a decade. On top of that, his charity work became the template for modern athletes period. Urban Hope is arguably the most transformative charity founded by an athlete, living or deceased nearly 15 years after Reggie played his last down. I loved Aaron Kampman. He was a blue collar, earnest, pedal to the floor guy. His full page thank you after he signed with Jacksonville was a bright light in the world of free agency. He was a leader by example, and I kind of wish he was around to develop as a coach. I think his consistency is something that rubs off on people. Dorsey Levens was a fave. I totally dug how he put it to whoever was trying to tackle him- I remember John Madden raving about how he refused to let the defines tackle him without taking punishment. He was an all around back and a tremendous teammate. Don Majkowski was awesome- I remember his game clinching TD to Sterling Sharpe over Chicago in the late 80's. The eye black and that shock blonde hair was a trademark, and he took a terrible beating and kept making plays. A heart and soul guy. Although I never saw him play, Ray Nitschke is there too. He casts such a long shadow- he was such a dominating presence on defines despite limited speed and range- he just found a way to win. He was mean and tough, and I wish our defense had teeth like that- one thing I envy about Chicago is that their identity remains tied so closely to defence that is stingy, hard hitting and punch you in the mouth- our D used to be their equal in that regard- would love it if we had three or four guys like that now that could take the heart and wind out of opponents several times a game.
