7. Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila

Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila was a fan favorite who was drafted in the fifth round of the 2000 draft. The defensive end who used his elite speed to beat tackles off the line of scrimmage, played his entire career in Green Bay which lasted until 2008.

He was a pass-rushing specialist who excelled in his role and earned the love of all Packers’ fans. He ranked first in the decade with 74.5 sacks-nearly 20 more than the second place player on that list.

For four straight years, from 2001-2004 he recorded 10 or more sacks, including a career-high 13.5 sacks in 2001 and 2004. Those performances also earned him one Pro Bowl appearance in 2003.

Gbaja-Biamila was extremely fun to watch and one of the unique bright spots on the Packers during the 2000’s.
