18. William Henderson

More from Green Bay Packers

We had to find a way to get a fan favorite, William Henderson, on this list so here he is at No. 18. While Henderson’s stats are hard to quantify given his position as fullback and lead blocker, he certainly made an impact on the Packers during his time with the team.

He was drafted in the third round of the 1995 draft and played all 12 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, retiring in 2006.

During the 2000’s, he blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher in five of his six seasons. He finally earned a well-deserved trip to the Pro Bowl in 2004 and he could’ve made multiple others throughout his career. He was also a first-team All-Pro that season as well.

Besides blocking, he was an underrated pass-catcher out of the backfield. He recorded 20 or more catches every season except his last and would often hurdle opposing defensive backs trying to go low for the tackle.

Henderson never complained, never whined, just continued to put his head down and do his job. That’s why he was beloved.
