Robinson was selected to three Pro Bowls, while playing on three Championship teams under Vince Lombardi. The former Penn State standout played ten seasons with the Packers from 1963 until 1972 before finishing his career with a two-year run with the Washington Redskins.
But the bad news–offensive guard Jerry Kramer was left off the list.
It’d be a mistake to let the disappointing news about Kramer overshadow Robinson’s big day, but it’s hard to overlook the travesty of Kramer being left out of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Harrell still has plenty of Packers' support
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If Aaron Rodgers is forced to miss any games this season due to injury, clearly the Green Bay Packers would not be the same team no matter who the backup quarterback is.

I have Drew Brees at #1 among QBs because of his consistency over the last 4 years. If there is something that Rodgers does much better than Brees, it’s run the ball. Nice little run here for a TD. S/O to @sbanation for the GIF.
