Does this put the Packers ahead of Bears for most HOF?
No. The Bears have 30 and we now have 27.

If they'd do the right thing and elect Dilweg (5X All Pro), Lewellen (4X All Pro), Howton (2X All Pro, all time receptions leader when he retired from the NFL), Sharpe (3X All Pro) and Gillingham (2X All Pro), then the tally would be correct..........finally. Note: Not all years had 2nd team All Pro players...........just first team All-Pro players. Of course, Aaron Rodgers will be added to the list later too.

If they'd do the right thing and elect Dilweg (5X All Pro), Lewellen (4X All Pro), Howton (2X All Pro, all time receptions leader when he retired from the NFL), Sharpe (3X All Pro) and Gillingham (6X All Pro), then the tally would be correct..........finally. Note: Not all years had 2nd team All Pro players...........just first team All-Pro players. Of course, Aaron Rodgers will be added to the list later too.
It's gonna be a long shot for Dilweg, Lewellen and Howton to get in. There hasn't been a Senior Inductee from their era since 2016. Sharpe just didn't play long enough and Gillingham probably won't because he played during the Lombardi years. Look how long it took Kramer?

I'm hoping that the Bobby Dillon selection in 2020 helps break the log jam for Bill Howton as a Senior Inductee (both were from the 1950s). But I do agree with you that it's a long shot for Howton, Dilweg and Lewellen. I'm still truly hopeful for Sterling Sharpe and Gale Gillingham based on their All-Pro selection records.

We'll troll the Bears by keeping pace when Julius Peppers gets in too

Let's get excited about something great in the midst of the dismal Packers 3-6 record going into Week 10 versus the Cowboys.

Next Thursday night, November 17th, Leroy Butler will have his name unveiled "Leroy Butler 1990 - 2001" unveiled on the inner facade of Lambeau Field.

Well deserved Leroy Butler. You were one of the best. Proud to have watched you and especially proud that you are a Green Bay Packer. I thoroughly enjoyed your halftime speech at the game on Thursday. I enjoyed watching you autograph a picture for my son when he was about 10 years old at one of the department stores in GB. The times I’ve seen you you have always had an engaging grin that spread to everyone around you. We have been blessed to have had you on our team…. Well deserved and God Bless you going forward.
