Green Bay Packers: 20 best draft picks since the merger

3. Sterling Sharpe

Even though Sterling Sharpe’s career was cut short, he comes in at No. 3 on this list due to the impact he had during his short time with the Packers.

Sharpe was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 1988 draft and completely lived up to the hype. During his seven-year career, he was selected to the Pro Bowl five times and the All-Pro team three times.

He also recorded 1100 or more yards in five of those seasons and appeared to gel with Favre at the helm. All of that came while he struggled with injuries and eventually had to retire due to a neck abnormality that caused him to experience lots of pain.

As it stands, ranks fourth in team history with 66 total touchdowns along with a gluttony of seasons where he ranked near the top of the league in receiving touchdowns, yards and receptions. If he could’ve stayed healthy, he might be a spot higher on this list.
