The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun.

In 1974, Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) began compiling an annual NFL All-Rookie Team made up of the best rookies at each position for the preceding season. [4] The teams are selected by the sportswriters that make up the PFWA. [5] For only one NFL All-Rookie Team, in 1976, the PFWA selected a first-team and second-team; all other teams do not have a distinction. From 1992 to 2012, the All-Rookie Teams were chosen jointly by PFWA and Pro Football Weekly . [4]

The Packers have had 33 players named to 25 NFL All-Rookie Teams. No Packers were selected in the inaugural NFL All-Rookie Team in 1974; [6] Johnnie Gray became the Packers' first selection after the 1975 NFL season. [7] The most Packers named to one team came in 2006, when the trio of Greg Jennings, Daryn Colledge and A. J. Hawk were selected. [8] On six other occasions, two Packers have been selected to one team. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] Twice, the Packers have had an All-Rookie Team selection also given an NFL Rookie of the Year Award: Tom Flynn in 1984 and Eddie Lacy in 2013. [15] [10] [16] [17] Six All-Rookie Team selections have gone on to be inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, with one of those—James Lofton—also inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. [18] [19] The most recent All-Rookie Team selection for the Packers was Quay Walker after the 2022 NFL season. [20] [21]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lists of Green Bay Packers players</span>

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun. They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) and play their home games at Lambeau Field in central Wisconsin. Since their founding, over 1,800 players have played at least one game for the team. Many, but not all of these players were selected by the Packers in the NFL draft, which began in 1936. To honor their contributions to the team, the Packers have recognized their own players in various ways, including retiring uniform numbers, establishing a team hall of fame, and documenting the team's all-time statistical leaders. Additionally, Packers' players have been recognized nationally for their performance, most notably through induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Packers players have also won MVP awards, been named AP All-Pros, been selected for the Pro Bowl, and named to numerous "All-Time Teams". The following lists provide an overview of notable groupings of Green Bay Packers players.

The 1992 Cincinnati Bengals season was the team's 25th year in professional football and its 23rd with the National Football League (NFL). They finished the year with five wins and 11 losses, and did not qualify for the playoffs. The Bengals, who were then owned by Mike Brown, the son of coach Paul Brown, now turned to the son of another coach to lead the team on the field when he hired assistant Dave Shula to assume the head coaching reins. The Bengals selected University of Houston quarterback David Klingler in the first round of the 1992 NFL Draft. The younger Shula got off to a good start as the Bengals won their first two games, but then lost its next five games, on the way to a five-win season. Wide receiver Carl Pickens, a second-round selection out of the University of Tennessee, earned Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Following the season, perennial all-pro offensive tackle Anthony Muñoz retired, as the Bengals moved in a new direction by trading quarterback Boomer Esiason to the New York Jets.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">1940 NFL All-Star Game (January)</span> NFL All-Star Game

The 1940 National Football League (NFL) All-Star Game was an exhibition contest that the NFL organized after the 1939 season. The game was played between the Green Bay Packers, the league's champion that season, and a team of All-Stars made up of players from the remaining NFL teams. The players on the All-Star team were selected by a national poll of fans. The game, which was delayed a week due to rain, was played on Sunday, January 14, 1940, at Gilmore Stadium in Los Angeles, California, in front of approximately 18,000 fans. The Packers defeated the All-Stars by a score of 16–7 on three field goals and a 92-yard touchdown pass from Cecil Isbell to Don Hutson. The all-star game format was continued for another three seasons before ending due to World War II. A new all-star format, branded as the Pro Bowl, began after the 1950 NFL season, with these all-star games retroactively considered the first Pro Bowls.
