8. Darren Sharper

Darren Sharper makes this list at No 8 due to his on the field play for Green Bay during his time with the Packers.

He was a second-round draft pick in 1997 and had to earn his way into playing time for a Packers’ defense that was rock-solid at that time. However, by the time 2000 came around, he was in full swing and was one of the best safeties in the league.

Even though he was only with the team until 2004, he was first in interceptions with 31, barely edging out another member on this list who’s yet to come. He played through some up and down times in Green Bay, but was ultimately named to two Pro Bowls with the Packers and a First-Team All-Pro in 2000.

In 2005, he left the Packers and joined the Minnesota Vikings, ending his time in the green and gold.
