Chandler Punts
Packerville, U.S.A. features former Packers kicker/punter Don Chandler today, because the staff is visiting family in Oklahoma this weekend. Chandler, although born in Iowa, attended high school in Oklahoma. He first attended Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and then transferred to the University of Florida. He was selected in the fifth round (fifty-seventh pick overall) of the 1956 NFL Draft, and played with the New York Giants (1956-1964) and Green Bay (1965-1967), where he helped the team win three straight N.F.L. titles. He was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1975, along with tight end Ron Kramer, defensive end Willie Davis, guards Jerry Kramer and Fuzzy Thurston, and coach Vince Lombardi. In 2002, he was named to the Oklahoma Team of the Century by The Oklahoman and in 2003 to the list of Oklahoma's Greatest Athletes by the Tulsa World. He currently resides in Tulsa.
