In recent years, the Green Bay Packers have been home to two of the greatest quarterbacks of the modern era in Brett Farve and Aaron Rodgers. The Packers also have a slew of Hall of Fame talent hailing from the Vince Lombardi era of their historic past. However, we're giving the Packers crown to eldest athlete on the list thus far to wide receiver, Don Hutson. It's understandable why some might argue that Don Hutson isn't the Packers greatest player to date due to the level athleticism displayed in the 1930s and '40s, but Hutson was one of football's first deep threats in existence.
After winning the national championship as a member of the Alabama Crimson Tide in 1934, Hutson took his talents to Green Bay where he would play all eleven seasons of his NFL career (1935-45). Throughout that decade, Hutson would lead the league in receptions a total of eight times, as well as touchdowns a total of nine times, and receiving yards a total of seven times. Hutson took home two NFL MVP Awards (1941, 1942) and helped the Packers win three NFL Championships (1936, 1939, 1944). Hutson even led the league in interceptions one year in 1940. Honestly, there was nothing he couldn't do on the football. Hutson passed away in 1997, but his legacy lives on to this day.
