Packer trivia question???

[Pack93z]

The trivia question is how many overall #1 picks have played in a regulation game for the Packers?

* Hints...

Only one was drafted by the Packers. On the lambeau ring of honor too

One played only a few games professionally. I think 9 to be exact.

The other player was a modern day player, post 1980.

Tim Couch was on the roster, but never played in a regular season game...

Paul Hornung is one (the first one of your hints).

Ding, ding, ding.... that is one :thumbsup:

Russell Maryland, DT. Must have been a horrible draft for him to be taken #1 overall by the Cowboys. Packers signed as FA in late 90's early 00's.

That is two... the other is way back in the day... A kid from Stanford that was aquired to back up Tobin Rote.

In 1952 Vito "Babe" Parilli was drafted to back up Tobin Rote but he was from Kentucky drafted #1.
He played in at least 24 games for the Packers.
In 1957 he QB'd the Packers to a 21-17 win over the Bears.

That is close, but Parilli was picked with the #4 pick overall in 1952. The answer to the third player was involved in a trade that sent Parilli out of Green Bay.

Was it Bobby Garrett?

Was it Bobby Garrett?

Yes it is.... the first two were easy, but Mr. Garrett was a tough one to find and validate.

Interesting part, to me, was that because of a speech impediment Bobby only played in 9 whole games in the NFL. How did the Brown's not catch it before drafting him #1 or the Packers not hear about it before aquiring him in a trade before the season.

Shows just how far the world and especially the NFL as come in 50 years.

Regardless, I'm going to ask it...It may be too easy, but I just read it not too long ago...

Who is the first special teams player to ever win SuperBowl MVP??

Wow...you had me going! :guitarplayer::band:

He actually was the tennis couch and member of a doo *** band, if you haven't already watched the 1997 NFL America's game chronicling the Packers superbowl winning season you should. It talks about that in there

 

[longtimefan]

Yup he sang in high school

Canada is right. He looks awkward in tennis shorts.

This is what I remember....but fifty years later? Minnesota Vikings: Funny Jokes (Page 1)

This is a perfect example of why people over 65 should not post! I tried to send you to a review of Lombardi"s career as a teacher. but ended up giving you a Vikings website. Nice timing.

Excuse me.
