For today’s blog entry, we have photos of Green Bay running back Paul Hornung’s first and last touchdowns as a Packer. The first, on the left, was in 1957, while the final TD came on October 16, 1966 against the Chicago Bears. A pinched nerve in Hornung’s neck severely curtailed his playing time in 1966, and he did not see action in Super Bowl I when the Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. Hornung was selected in the 1967 expansion draft by the New Orleans Saints, who later traded for Hornung's backfield mate at Green Bay, former LSU all-American Jim Taylor. Hornung never suited up for the Saints, as the neck injury forced him to retire during training camp.
