Let’s say you’re the coach of the Green Bay Packers, deciding which players should start in a Super Bowl matchup against the toughest team in the AFC. But instead of choosing from the current roster, you have every player in the team’s 100-year history in your locker room. Who starts at quarterback: the steady field general Bart Starr, gunslinger Brett Favre, or cannon-armed Aaron Rodgers? At outside linebacker, do you play Hall of Famer Dave Robinson, Lombardi-favorite Dan Currie, current All Pro Clay Matthews, or another player from the team’s deep roster? Which players get the start at wide receiver? Donald Driver, James Lofton, Sterling Sharpe, Max McGee, Jordy Nelson, or Antonio Freeman? Combining career stats, common sense, and a host of intangibles,

veteran sportswriter Chuck Carlson imagines an embarrassment of riches and sets the all-time All-Pro Packer lineup for the ages.

"I had the privilege to be the general manager of the Green Bay Packers for 10 seasons so I got to understand just how special the history and tradition of the Packers truly is. Green Bay Packers All-Time All-Stars dives deep into that history and comes up with a roster of players for the ages. For every Packers fan, this is a chance to relive the past, enjoy the present, and look to the future of a remarkable franchise." --Ron Wolf, Packers General Manager, 1991-2000
