![]() ![]() The Packers have been mostly underwhelming at tight end in my time as a fan. Finley posted 159 yards on 6 receptions in that shootout of a game at Arizona. You saw the damage he could do in the Packers lone playoff game in 2009. One could argue that Finley’s best season was in 2011 or 2013 prior to the injury. Regardless of your feelings on Finley or Bennett, they both belong on this list in varying capacity. Still, I will take 2010 John Kuhn as my fullback by a narrow margin. He also blocked for an 1800 yard rushing performance in 2003 by Ahman Green. I barely remember William Henderson as a player, but after researching his stats, I now know he was a much better receiver than I once thought. This may be a little bit of recency bias. Aaron Jones edges Ryan Grant with his receiving ability and knack for finding the end zone. I was always a huge fan of Green as a kid because he was from my home state of Nebraska and also played for the University of Nebraska before becoming a Green Bay Packer by way of a trade with Seattle. ![]() Ryan Grant (2009)Īhman Green had an outstanding season in 2003, nearly reaching 1900 yards while contributing 15 touchdowns on 5.3 yards per carry. My fandom 53 starts out on a strong note with one of the best seasons an NFL quarterback has ever had. The only thing that I really had to scratch my head about was who I was going to select as first out. 2011 Rodgers was a tier above 2007 Brett Favre. Rodgers vs Favre may spark a debate for some people, but it doesn’t for me in this case. I respect everyone’s opinion, but don’t come at me all hostile if you do not agree with something in this 53. This list is put together to play in the current NFL.For example, a player like Aaron Jones fits better in an offense featuring Aaron Rodgers and a plethora of talented receivers than a back like Eddie Lacy…in my opinion. I am fully taking into account how certain players will affect the play of others.No one player can be used twice, regardless of position.Each player will be given a season in which I think they were at their best.I share with you my fandom 53, and I hope you will share yours with me in the comments/replies on social media. ![]() Evaluating the game is a lot different through the eyes of a 7 year old child than it is a 23 year old who has watched hours upon hours of football games. I am certain that there will be some slight factors of recency bias in this 53 man roster, as well as some player from the 2000’s who I thought were better than they actually were. From the 2004 season on, I have not missed a game, either watching on TV or following along with the gamecast because the game wasn’t televised where I lived in Nebraska. I became a fan at the tail end of the 2003 season at about 6 or 7 years old. So I came to the conclusion that I should do a 53 man roster throughout my time as a fan. Shortly after thinking about the topic, I realized that I couldn’t properly make that 53, and in reality not many people could. This sprung an idea for me to write an all time Packers 53 man roster. The other day, I was listening to someone’s analysis of the NFL’s top players of all time. ![]()
