1. Donald Driver (1999-2012)
The Green Bay Packers weren’t expecting a lot when they took Alcorn State wide receiver Donald Driver in the 7th round of the 1999 NFL Draft.
He emerged as a star in 2002, earning the first of his three Pro Bowl bids with 70 receptions and nine touchdowns.
He set career highs with 92 catches and 1,295 receiving yards in 2006 and caught nine touchdowns in both 2002 and 2004.
Part of the Packers Super Bowl team in 2010, Driver retired in January 2013 as the franchise’s career record-holder in most major receiving categories.
He finished his 14-year career with 743 receptions, 10,137 receiving yards and 61 touchdowns.
The Packers’ all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, he is also third in team history with his 61 touchdown catches.
