4. LeRoy Butler

Ah, Leroy Butler. The creator of the Lambeau Leap. Butler comes in at No. 4 on this list and I wish there was a way I could make him higher. Unfortunately, rules are rules so here he is.

Butler played his entire 12-year career with the Packers after initially being drafted in the second round of the 1990 draft. He was there when the Packers still struggled and saw them all the way through their Super Bowl victory and finally retired in 2001 when they appeared to be slipping a bit again.

He began his career as a cornerback but moved to strong safety in 1992. There, he excelled and was able to be the enforcer over the middle receivers feared. He also had a knack for the ball, compiling 38 interceptions throughout his career which ranks fourth in team history.

Butler continues to cover the Packers to this day and remains near and dear to many fans’ hearts.
