9. Nick Collins

Nick Collins is one of the most beloved players and unfortunately, had his career cut short due to a neck injury.

He was selected in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft, a pick the Packers acquired from trading cornerback Mike McKenzie a couple of years prior. He immediately came in and made a positive impact on the team, providing them with stability and a playmaker in their secondary.

Collins was always around the ball and we loved him for that. He had three interceptions returned for touchdowns in 2008 and four total during his regular season career. However, that number doesn’t include the pick-six he had against Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl.

Collins was just getting going, having been elected to three straight Pro Bowls, before he suffered his career-ending injury in 2011. Still, he remains one of the most well-liked players in Green Bay history.
