No team is better represented in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If you look back beyond, like, 1950, odds are that they played on the Packers.
Some of the names most synonymous with football glory (what a dramatic sentence) have been enshrined after stints with the Packers, with icons like Earl Lambeau, Vince Lombardi, and Bart Starr headlining a class of 30+ players with history in Green Bay. Here's the entire list:

As for guys who are currently playing, or maybe just retired and won't have to wait too much longer, here are the leaders in the proverbial clubhouse.
Aaron Rodgers
He's one of the half-dozen or so total locks currently still playing. Despite [gestures to everything happening in New York], he will go down as arguably the best QB in the history of the Green Bay Packers, which is really saying something and why I put that in italics.
He'll cross 60,000 passing yards and 500 touchdown passes this season if he stays healthy, has 4 MVP awards, and has made more Pro Bowls than I cared to count.
Davante Adams
Adams is a great example of just how hard it is to make the Hall as a wide receiver. In his 10 year career, he has over 10,000 receiving yards, 95 touchdowns, three 1st Team All-Pro nods, and six Pro Bowls.
Yet, according to Football Reference's Hall of Fame monitor (a big confusing algorithm that gauges how close a player is), he's not particularly close to getting in; the average "number" for WRs is 101, and Adams is at 60. Adams is still putting up 1,000 yard seasons though, and with quarterbacks who have no business being NFL starters to boot. If he's not there yet, another 3-4 seasons of his current production would make for a great argument.
David Bakhtiari
Bakhtiari will probably have to "settle" for the Packers ring of honor, but he'll be a fun case to argue about at some point down the road. With five different All Pro team nods and three Pro Bowls, there was a time, believe it or not, when he was the definition of consistency on the Packers line. Injuries robbed him of what was looking like a truly elite career, and if he's going to have any shot at a inspiring final chapter to his NFL career, it'll be elsewhere.
His Hall of Fame monitor isn't close (whatever), and realistically he doesn't have enough good years under his belt for consideration, but he'll always be a Packers legend.
