Bart Starr

Five-time NFL champion, two-time Super Bowl participant and MVP and one of the nicest guys on the planet describes Bart Starr – one of the most revered of all Packers players.

He led a team through the 60s that is known as one of the greatest of all-time. As Vince Lombardi’s quarterback through those years, Starr was a prototypical signal caller of that era, helping to change the way the game was played and, most importantly, how it was viewed.

Starr’s numbers on the field pale in comparison to the pass-happy stats that are put up by today’s quarterbacks, but all one has to do is look at the rings on Starr’s hands and one knows quickly what he meant to the league and the team.

Though Starr’s star dimmed a bit during his time as the Packers head coach, his all-time standing among the team’s fans has never been higher.
