This is a list of the best Green Bay Packers of all time. The Pack. The Green and Gold. These are names associated with one of the proudest sports teams of all time: the Green Bay Packers. As the only team that is community owned, the Packers are one of the few small town teams in professional sports. Yet the Packers have been able to attract some of the best players in football history to Green Bay, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/green-bay-packers-hall-of-famers/ranker-sports" target="_blank">Hall of Fame-level Packers</a> players. The Packers have won an NFL best 13 championships in its history, including four Super Bowl titles. Due it&#39;s success as a franchise, Green Bay has the nickname of Titletown U.S.A.

Some of the best quarterbacks in football history have worn green and gold. Bart Starr, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers have all won Super Bowl MVPs and have helped uphold Green Bay&#39;s longstanding tradition of winning. High-powered offenses have been the hallmark of the best Packers teams. Don Hutson is a wide receiver who is considered one of the best Packers ever, along with offensive lineman Forrest Gregg. Sterling Sharpe seemed destined to join the pantheon of Packers greats, but the star receiver suffered a neck injury that pre-emptively ended his career. But recently retired Donald Driver, a former 7th round pick, is one of the best, most revered Packers ever. Driver is one of the best players in Packers history and has the numbers to back it up.

This is the list of the greatest Green Bay Packers of all time. If you think someone should be on this list of the best Packers of all time, then feel free to add him to the list. Vote or rerank this list of the greatest Green Bay Packers ever.

He played college football for Michigan, where he led the Wolverines to a share of the national championship in 1997.

To date, he is the only primarily defensive player to win the Heisman, and he is the most recent player to win the Heisman who was not either a running back or quarterback. Woodson went on to accomplish a storied career professionally with one of the most decorated professional football resumes of all time, considered by many of his peers to be one of the greatest defensive players to have ever played.

In his first season with Oakland, Woodson was selected as the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press. He was named to the Pro Bowl and earned All-Pro recognition three consecutive times (1999–2001).  In a 2002 AFC playoff match against the New England Patriots, Woodson seemed to have clinched the game by forcing a fumble by sacking quarterback (and former Michigan teammate) Tom Brady, but the ruling was overturned. Woodson later battled several nagging injuries in consecutive seasons in Oakland, leading to his departure after the 2005 NFL season via free agency.On April 26, 2006, Woodson signed a seven-year, $52 million contract with the Green Bay Packers. He would later win Super Bowl XLV with the team over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He returned to the Raiders in 2013, playing three more seasons and once more being voted to the Pro Bowl. Woodson is one of the few players in NFL history to play in a Pro Bowl in three different decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s).
