A Classic Foursome


Today’s posting is just an interesting photo from several years ago. Former Packers Reggie White, Bart Starr, and Willie Davis posed with current quarterback Brett Favre for a poster photo shoot. The defensive linemen of the Lombardi and Holmgren eras together with the quarterbacks who have totalled three Super Bowl victories, and six World Championships overall.

Unfortunately, Reggie White died a couple of years ago, but Starr and Davis are healthy and in their Seventies — and they often come to Green Bay for alumni or other promotional events for the team. I met Starr a few years ago at the Lambeau Field renovation groundbreaking, and he was, as everyone says, a class individual all the way.
