Greg has the numbers, but nobody wants this dude in the Hall. I don't get it. The fans would rather see someone like Kuhn who made pivotal plays, was a great teammate, but lacks the numbers.

Harris was a beast. The way he threw QBs around in that 1989 season was some of the best the Packers defense saw in a long while.
Is Greg's sister going to introduce him? I mean, you have to induct him based on stats, but as BrainDed said, he'll get some pretty tepid courtesy applause at best.
Just one more thing to add to 12’s list of grievances
Tim Harris had a 3 year run as a pass rusher that was about as good as anyone and it’s not like those GB teams were loaded on defense
1988-1990- 40 sacks and almost 300 tackles.
Let’s also not forget he joined the Niners and in 1992 he had a 17 sack season.
Both are definitely worthy of the honor. Doubt the bad feelings about Jennings are all that widespread and I would expect his reception to be be respectful.
Maybe casual fans don't know he is a whinny piece of shit who to this day is still trying to make money by creating drama?
I really don't know what it takes to make it into the Packers HOF. Greg's probably a top 10 WR in the team's history, after Hutson, Lofton, Sharpe, Freeman, Driver, Nelson, and Adams. He was the #1 WR on a Super Bowl winner and he made one of that game's defining plays (catching that third down pass on their last possession). But he's since pissed off most of Wisconsin by going to Minnesota and never passing up an opportunity to take a shot at the Packers. I wouldn't vote him in based on his post-Packers career but get it if he is inducted.
Don't understand all the jennings hate. He mostly thought Rodgers was an arrogant prick. Mostly he was right about that.
Always thought when he played here he was nothing but professional, classy and his numbers and play in the superbowl have earned him the spot. Besides if being a jackass or having an opinion keeps you out of the phof, not sure how anyone gets in.
Jennings screwed up by going to Minnesota, instead of staying with the Packers and getting more money from the Packers than he got from Minnesota. Anyone going to Minnesota, from the Packers, is suspect, IMO.
What took so long for Harris? Just the way he handled himself in Green Bay?
Greg Jennings had the ONE play in the Super Bowl when the defense was gassed and the offense was in 3rd & long. They HAD to have that first down conversion. The Steelers knew the exact play that was coming and still couldn't stop it. Close but didn't stop it.
Throw all the other bullshit after that, OUT
AFA, Harris....I thought he was already in. Hahaha 😆 Bring out the 6 Guns!
Besides, same number as Kenny Clark. Winning!

Tim Harris hates the wave
They used to have the G so low it almost covered the earhole. I think Holmgren finally fixed that.
That this dude isn't in is all kinds of ridiculous:

You mean the play where he failed to get open but Rodgers dropped the ball in with absolute surgical precision?
I am very good with Harris getting in the Packers HOF. I am honestly surprised he wasn't in there already. Jennings? dont care
Jennings had a bunch of game changing plays in his career, even if his total stats aren't league elite.
2009 caught the game winner with 1 minute or so left to beat the Bears, beginning AR's late game ownership of Chicago;
1st play of overtime vs the Broncos when he & Favre connected on an 82 yard dagger;
Lots of long catch and run plays; My favorite may be vs the Vikings in 2011, when AR was flushed right and everyone on the field converged on the right flat- except Jennings, who just sort of kept drifting downfield. There was no one within 30 yards of him when he caught the ball. 79 yd TD
Superb Owl- got lit up by Polamalu at the goal line but held on for the TD.
He had a TD of 75 yds or more in 5 of the 6 full seasons he played for the Pack.
He deserves a spot.
Agreed. And I look forward to Jennings wearing a Viking jersey to his induction ceremony.

What's up with all the empty seats?
Hell, if TOG can be welcomed back, I guess Jennings can be also.
The best Gerg reception ever?

I hope it is a preseason game.
At least now we know Infante wasn't a shit coach, it was that the fans were too stupid to wait to do the wave when the defense was on the field.

Road game where the other team wears white.

Saints playing outdoors? Hmmmmmm....
I like El-Ka-Whatshisnames answer better. Is that Camp Randall? Looks like a lot of red.
Looked like the old school red W at the beginning of the clip
I literally almost ran into Tim Harris in a doorway to the UW-Green Bay Credit Union back in the early ‘90s. I got the hell out of his way, he was bigger in person than I would have expected.
He really was a fantastic player, I believe he was on that 1994 49ers team that was one of the strongest Super Bowl teams I ever saw.
