Green Bay Packers: The 20 best players from 2000-09

3. Donald Driver

Ah, the great Donald Driver coming in at No. 3. Driver embodies everything that Green Bay stands for- an underdog who has to fight and scrap for everything he’s ever earned.

After being selected with the 213th overall pick in the seventh round of the 1999 draft, Driver’s spot on the roster was never guaranteed. He had to earn every second he was on the roster and eventually worked his way into a starting and starring role at wide receiver.

The former Alcorn State product barely played his first season with the team, but slowly worked his way up the depth chart. By his fourth year with the team in 2002, he was a 1000 yard receiver and earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl.

Driver racked up six more seasons with at least 1000 yards including the last six to finish the decade and two more trips to the Pro Bowl. As time went on, he had to re-create himself and thrived in the slot in the new passing offenses being featured across the league. His best asset, however, was his ability with the football after the catch. He was extremely slippery and hard to take down, often times turning a simple slant into a huge gain.

From 2000-2009, he ranks first on the team in receptions, yards and receiving touchdowns. Unfortunately, he’ll have to settle for No. 3 on this list.
