Green Bay Packers: Who wore #74 best?

With 74 days left until the start of the Green Bay Packers NFL season, our countdown to the big day continues. Sunday, Sept. 11, is the day when the Packers travel to Jacksonville to take on the upstart Jaguars.

The most recent player to wear the number, Marshall Newhouse, left town two seasons ago through free agency, but there have been a few others who have worn the number well – Dave Roller and Lester Archambeau are a couple.

For an in-depth look at every number and the players who wore them, we highly recommend “Packers by the Numbers: Jersey Numbers and the Players Who Wore Them,” by John Maxymuk.

Aaron Kampman is another recent player who is one of the best to wear the number. He played eight years in Green Bay, a popular player who, at the end of his time with the Packers, suffered a knee injury before moving on to play the final two years of his career in Jacksonville.

Kampman played 112 games in Green Bay, recording 54 sacks and 320 tackles. He also forced 11 fumbles and recovered four fumbles during his days with the Packers.

However, we will focus on another #74 today – Henry Jordan – one of those defensive linemen from the 1960s.

Do you remember him? Maybe not.

But you should.
