Your favorite "no name" Packer

Rob Davis

AJ Hawk 

Eric Torkleson.

 

There is no 2nd place.

I see what you did there.

 

 

Gary Lewis

 

 

Ryan Taylor

Not a no name necessarily, but Chuck Mercein did next to nothing in his 3 years with the Packers except on the final drive of the Ice Bowl. He rushed six times for 20 yards, and had two receptions for 22 yards in the game. 34 of his total yards were achieved on that final drive.

 

He signed my copy of Strange But True Football Stories. I have no idea where that book is anymore.

 

Blair Kiel

 

Jim Del Gaizo

Zeke Bratkowski

DeMond Parker. His cooling of his "hot feet" against the Bears on a cold snowy day  was one of the greatest TD celebrations ever. 

Jessie Clark

Mike Prior, who had an interception in Superbowl XXXI.

Bruce Wilkerson....1996 post season MVP in my book

Clayton Tonnemaker.

Philip Epps - He beat Darrell Green in a race but they gave the "win" to Green for NFL fastest man.

 

60 yard dash - 6.09 Ridiculous speed, Green had a 6.08 they said.

I believe one year Hampton, playing for the Falcons then, gained 1000 yards in the last game of the year, but on his next carry he lost a couple of years and finished with something like 996 yards for the year.  Back then gaining 1000 yards was a big deal.

not a fav but a fun name:  Vai Sikahema

Don Bebee played a big role back at the start of the new good old days.   And who can forget the Great White Hope Travis Jervey

Wayne Simmons absolutely destroyed tight ends.

I remember seeing an interview with Simmons once when they asked him about his playing style and he said something to effect of "you gotta understand something, I'm a man".

I obviously didn't do it justice, but he sounded like such a bad ass. I was very impressed.

Definitely one of the rare cool moments in that time period of history. He's currently one of the GBP's Strength & Conditioning coaches, and apparently a pretty darn good one at that.

Pretty cool they were able to keep him around

Howard Green

Don Beebe

Bruce Wilkerson

Andre Rison

 

Don Davey

"I believe one year Hampton, playing for the Falcons then, gained 1000 yards in the last game of the year, but on his next carry he lost a couple of years and finished with something like 996 yards for the year.  Back then gaining 1000 yards was a big deal."

 

Yeah, they stopped the game and gave him a game ball. He then promptly lost 6 yards and finished at 995.

Next year he had 997.

 

The 1000 yard threshold WAS something special. Which puts OJ Simpson's 2000 yard year into perspective. That was like Dimaggios hitting streak. A statistical outlier unlikely to be repeated without changes to the rules. That's what occurred in the NFL.

Have it.

 

 

Did you know that during the time frame of Joe D's hitting streak Ted Williams actually had a higher batting average? He just wasn't able to put together a day to day streak like Dimaggio's. 

Frankie Neal

William Henderson
Mike McKenzie
Desmond Bishop

Not sure they were "no names" but all three were high effort guys that overcame their draft status

Walter "Quick Six" Stanley

No names: The Hungry Five are my choice. Crucial to the survival of the team more than all but about 5 players in history.  Go ahead - name them without checking wikipedia.

Bob Skoronski, Hawg Hanner , Ron Kolstelnik and Jim Weatherwax. With Ray Scott saying their names doing the play by play.
