Packers in the Pro Football HOF

1963 Curly Lambeau Coach/Halfback 1919–49

1963 Cal Hubbard Offensive tackle 1929–33
In 1970, he was selected to the NFL's All-50 Year Team.
In 1994, he was selected to the NFL's All-Time Two-Way Team.
By 1958, Hubbard was the AL's umpire-in-chief. In 1976 he was enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Hubbard is the only person to be in both the Baseball and Football Hall of Fames.

1963 Don Hutson End 1935–45
Hutson led the league in receptions eight times, including five consecutive seasons (1936-37, 1939, 1941-45). He led the league in receiving yards seven times, including four consecutive seasons (1936, 1938-39, 1941-44). He led the league in touchdown receptions nine times, including five consecutive seasons (1935-38, 1940-44). All of those achievements remain NFL records.

1963 John McNally Halfback 1929–33

1964 Clarke Hinkle Fullback 1932–41
In 1938, Hinkle led the league in scoring with 58 points (7 TDs, 3 FGs, 7 PATs).In 1940 and '41, Hinkle led the NFL in field goals made, hitting 9-of-14 and 6-of-14, respectively.
The NFL doesn't have defensive statistics for that period, but Hinkle was a fierce linebacker, gaining a reputation as one of the few players powerful enough to bring down Chicago Bears great Bronko Nagurski.
Hinkle was named to the NFL's All-Time Two-Way Team in 1994.

1964 Mike Michalske Guard 1929–35
Michalske also played on the defensive line and was dubbed "Iron Mike" because despite playing 60 minutes a game, he missed only nine of 104 games during his Packers tenure, five of them in his final season.

1966 Arnie Herber Quarterback 1930–40
In 1932, the Packers' title streak ended, but Herber earned NFL All-Pro recognition while leading the league in passing yards (639) and touchdowns (9). He led the league again in 1934 (799 yards, 8 TDs).
In 1935, the arrival of Don Hutson in Green Bay created the first great quarterback-receiver combination in NFL history.

1971 Vince Lombardi Coach 1959–67

1974 Tony Canadeo Halfback 1941–44
In 1949, Canadeo ran for 1,052 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry to become the third NFL player and first Packers player to reach the 1,000-yard mark.

1976 Jim Taylor Fullback 1958–66
For his Packers career, Taylor had 26 100-yard rushing games and 8,207 rushing yards. Not until Green would a Packers player approach either number.
Taylor earned MVP honors in 1961 and was a consensus All-Pro. He was also voted to the Pro Bowl, an honor he received each season from 1960-64.

1977 Forrest Gregg Guard/Offensive tackle 1956-70
