Green Bay Packers: Who wore these numbers best? 99, 98 & 97

With 97 days left until the start of the NFL season, our countdown to the big day, Sunday, Sept. 11, when the Green Bay Packers travel to Jacksonville to take on the upstart Jaguars, we kick off this series that focuses on some of the best to wear that number in Packers News.

Think about it … there have been so many forgotten players who have passed through Green Bay that don’t necessarily stand out in the statistics, but still had some sort of impact on the franchise.

We will take the next three months going through every number from 99 to 1, while counting down the players who wore those numbers.

Most specifically, we provide excerpts from John Maxymuk’s “Packers by the Numbers,” an exhaustive look at some of the well- and not-so-well-known players who wore Green and Gold.

Maxymuk also produces an excellent blog, … today it’s #99, 98 and 97 because … yes, time got away and there are just 97 days left until the start of the season … so we need to catch up.

Let’s not waste any time … on to #99 …
