13. William Henderson

William Henderson was a beast of a fullback who was the lead blocker for some of the best running backs in Packers’ history. He had the honor of blocking for such studs such as Dorsey Levens, Edgar Bennett and Ahman Green.

Henderson was drafted in the third round of the 1995 draft and played all 12 years of his career in Green Bay. He earned one trip to the Pro Bowl in 2004, but that number should’ve been much higher.

He was the type of player who did his job on every play and never complained. As a big bruising player, he easily moved linemen and linebackers alike out of the way in order to make room for the running backs coming behind him. He was such an underrated aspect of the Packers’ success running the ball.

Blocking wasn’t the only thing he could do, as he was a lethal (too strong of a word?) pass-catching weapon out of the backfield as well. On any given play, Henderson could snag a ball out of the air, hurdle some poor, unexpecting corner and rumble upfield until the defense was able to gang-tackle him. That’s what we will all mostly remember about Henderson.
