I figure sometime in the next 10 years, Woodson will retire. I also figure him to be a HOF member. With his 5th season winding down in GB, and his previous 8 in Oakland, how will he be presented? I figure it in green & gold, but I am looking at this thing thing thru Vince's horned rimmed glasses.

I am pretty sure Reggie went in as a Packer, I figure old #4 will go in also, ( although he could go in in purp, nnnahhhh)

Not sure what Lofton did....what do you think?

I'm thinking Donald Driver possibly.

I guess I am wondering more about players who played in GB and went somewhere else, or started someplace else and played in GB.

I would luv to see DD in the HOF....

Members go in as individuals not as a part of a certain team as in baseball. Since they put in with a bust of their head there is no helmet. Their induction includes all the teams they where with. So Reggie's includes Carolina and Lombardi's includes Washington

This is something I did not know...I always thought that a player had to choose a team. A tip of my old gray fedora to you cakoski!

Correct, they don't go in as members of a specific team, like baseball players. They do list all the teams they played for though.

Woodson is going to be HOF, he's really the only player that RIGHT NOW is a HOF player on the Packers. Matthews and Rodgers obviously have a very good start in that direction.

Donald Driver? All-time great Packer, 100% Packer Hall of Famer but not even close to a Pro Football HOF.

As far as other Packer players who went on to other teams the biggest name who played with the Packers but was a monster elsewhere was Ted Hendricks.

What about Justin Harrell? Hey, the guy has potential! :happy0005:

...And if Clay Matthews got in the HOF, they might just open up a section called, "The Matthews Family Annex".

Driver and Harris have zero shot at the hall of fame. Driver has never had a double digit TD season even. With todays era and the passing numbers that are out there his numbers arent that impressive. Also there is a huge backlog of great WRs would are not in the HOF already.

Even though players don't go in the Hall as a member of a specific team, the banners and pictures show each player in action. I would imagine the player has the right to designate which team he played for in the photos used in the ceremony--but I'm not sure. Anyone out there have the answer?
