Welcome once again to Lombardi Ave's 100-piece series covering the greatest Green Bay Packers players to wear every jersey number from No. 0 to No. 99.
Now, while the first two entries of the 30s have featured some of the most iconic names ever to wear the Green & Gold, this list is far different. Truth be told, it's been a minute since we've had a group without at least one member of the Packers Hall of Fame on it, but that's what we've got here at No. 32.

With all due respect to every single player above, the fact that running back Brandon Jackson is the runner-up proves that this particular digit is one of the least-decorated in Green Bay history. Jackson does deserve some credit for stepping up during the Packers' Super Bowl-winning 2010 season after Ryan Grant went down with a season-ending ankle injury in Week 1, rushing for a career-high 703 yards and three touchdowns and adding another 342 yards and a score on 43 receptions.
But those 1,045 total yards from scrimmage also represent 48.1 percent of his total yardage during his four-year run with the team. So, again, the fact that he takes the second slot on this list is quite telling.
As for who takes the top spot, that title goes to cornerback Dave Brown, who's one of the all-time league leaders in interceptions, although the vast majority of those picks came with another club.
Seattle Seahawks legend Dave Brown tallied 12 interceptions with the Green Bay Packers to close his career
A three-time All-Big Ten selection and a two-time All-American at Michigan, Brown was taken in the first round of the 1975 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, with whom he spent just one season and won a Super Bowl before being taken in the 1976 expansion draft by the Seattle Seahawks.
The Ohio native ultimately spent 11 seasons in the Pacific Northwest, and while the Seahawks weren't overly competitive for the vast majority of that stretch, going to the playoffs just twice, Brown was undoubtedly one of the bright spots of that first decade-plus of the franchise, as he recorded 50 interceptions, which remains a team record to this day.
The Packers traded for Brown ahead of the 1987 season, and while he was obviously a little older, he was still a solid player, recording a dozen interceptions during his three-year run with the Packers, including six in his final year in 1989, tying the second-highest total of his career.
He had no intentions of retiring following that '89 campaign, but an Achilles injury landed him on the PUP list ahead of the 1990 season, and he ultimately sat out the entire year before being released in the spring of 1991, at which point his career officially came to an end. When he retired, he was one of only six players to hit the 60-interception mark, and his 62 total picks are still good for a tie for 10th on the NFL's official all-time list.
While he obviously didn't play with the Packers long enough to be considered for their Hall of Fame, he did become just the third player inducted into the Seahawks' Ring of Honor in 1992 and was also included on Seattle's list of the franchise's top 50 players in 2025.
And Brown can now add the title of the best Packers player ever to wear No. 32 to his resume.
