Ahman Green

Ahman Green was a fumbler … let’s get that out of the way right away.

However, during his eight seasons in Green Bay he electrified fans with his speed, cutting ability and his pass-catching skills.

And along the way he became the Packers’ all-time leading rusher.

In his career, he ran for 9,205 yards, 8,322 that came in Green Bay. That was on 1,851 carries, leaving him with a 4.5 yard per-carry average.

His longest run from scrimmage was 98 yards against Denver.

In addition, as a Packer, he was targeted 461 times in the pass game, catching 350 of those passes for another 2,720 yards – giving him a combined yards from scrimmage of 11,048.

In all, he fumbed 34 times.

But we’ll forgive him for that … his career positive numbers surely supersede any negatives.
