Green Bay Packers: 20 greatest players since 2010
By Joe Kipp
Being one of the most historic franchises in NFL history, the Green Bay Packers have had a multitude of exceptional players. Here are their 20 greatest players during the 2010s.
The Green Bay Packers have been one of the most consistent teams of the past three decades. Since trading for Brett Favre in 1992, Green Bay has an overall record of 261-154-1, along with two Super Bowl titles.
Let me emphasize that again: 261 wins in 26 seasons – an average of 10 wins per season. To add to that, Green Bay has had only three, I repeat: three losing seasons since ’92. As fans, we’ve been absolutely spoiled – as much as we like to complain.
The Packers kicked off the most recent decade by winning the 2011 Super Bowl (2010-11 season); the fourth in the team’s history. Their record since 2010 is an impressive 83-44-1, an average of nearly 10.5 wins per season. The 2011 season brought in an astounding 15 wins, although they fell short to the New York Giants in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
Of course, the sustained success Green Bay has enjoyed wouldn’t be possible without immensely talented players. Having two of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time doesn’t hurt either.
A few weeks ago, Dairyland Express detailed the 20 greatest Packers players of the 2000’s. This time, we’re giving you the 20 greatest players since 2010.
The amount of players who qualified for the list is tremendous. Some remarkable players had to be excluded simply due to quantity of talent. The list is based on positional value, player’s value to the team and performance on the field.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the 20 greatest Packers since 2010.
