All-Time Packers All-Super Bowl Team

In the 35-21 victory in Super Bowl XXXI over New England, Freeman caught three passes for 105 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. He was even better in Super Bowl XXXII with nine receptions for 126 yards and touchdowns of 22 yards in the first quarter and 13 yards in the fourth quarter.

In the 31-25 win over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV, Nelson had a breakout game with nine receptions for 140 yards and the game-opening touchdown, giving him the edge over Greg Jennings, whose four catches for 64 yards vs. the Steelers included touchdowns of 21 and 8 yards and his spectacular 31-yard catch on the clinching drive.

Tight End

Mark Chmura.

Chmura caught four passes for 43 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown, against Denver in Super Bowl XXXII.

Offensive Line

LT Bob Skoronski, LG Josh Sitton, C Frank Winters, RG Adam Timmerman, RT Forrest Gregg.

Skoronski’s primary matchup in Super Bowl II against the Raiders was Chuck Hurston, who had just one tackle. Sitton dominated against the Steelers and Winters dominated against the Patriots. Timmerman against the Broncos was part of a line that powered running back Dorsey Levens and allowed only one sack. The legendary Gregg’s primary matchup against the Raiders, Ike Lassiter, had one tackle.

Defensive Ends

Reggie White, Willie Davis.

The immortal White was the most feared defensive player in the game, and he ran roughshod over the Patriots with three sacks. After Desmond Howard’s 99-yard kickoff-return touchdown gave Green Bay a 35-21 lead late in the third quarter, White had back-to-back sacks.

Sacks didn’t become an official stat until 1982, but Pro Football Reference has unofficial sacks data going back much further. Davis had three sacks during Super Bowl II after he had 1.5 sacks in Super Bowl I. The first against the Raiders came on a third down early in the second quarter. Moments later, Bart Starr threw a 62-yard touchdown pass to Boyd Dowler.

Defensive Tackles

Gilbert Brown, Henry Jordan.

Brown – aka The Gravedigger – had five tackles and helped hold the Patriots to just 43 rushing yards. It was the ninth-fewest rushing yards allowed in Super Bowl history.

Jordan was a first-team All-Pro five consecutive seasons from 1960 through 1964 and a second-team All-Pro in 1966, a season culminated by Green Bay’s victory over the Chiefs, when he had 1.5 sacks.

Linebackers

Clay Matthews, Desmond Bishop, Ray Nitschke.

Before the start of the fourth quarter against Pittsburgh, Matthews was pulled aside by outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene. With Charles Woodson sidelined by a broken collarbone, Greene said to Matthews, “It is time.”

You know the rest. Matthews forced a fumble, and the Packers turned it into a huge touchdown.

That fumble was recovered by Bishop, who had a monster game with eight tackles, including three tackles for losses. One TFL set up an interception and another forced a long field goal.

In Super Bowl XXXI, Brian Williams picked off Drew Bledsoe to clinch the victory. He added five tackles.

Cornerbacks

Herb Adderley, Tyrone Williams Tramon Williams.

The 1967 season marked Adderley’s sixth consecutive with first- or second-team All-Pro honors. He finished his career with seven pick-sixes, not including his interception and 60-yard touchdown return that delivered the knockout against the Raiders.

In Super Bowl XXXI, Doug Evans and Craig Newsome had interceptions and gave up limited production against the Patriots. In Super Bowl XXXII, though, Tyrone Williams broke up three passes and forced a fumble that set up Green Bay for the game-tying field goal in the loss to Denver. Two of the three breakups came on third down. The Packers lost but held John Elway to 123 passing yards and a 51.9 rating.

Tramon Williams capped a superb playoff run with a brilliant showing in Super Bowl XLV. PFF charged him with 3-of-9 passing for 22 yards against Pittsburgh.

Safeties

Willie Wood, Nick Collins.

The final score of Super Bowl I was 35-10. That’s a blowout. It wasn’t at halftime, though. The Packers led only 14-10 at intermission and the Chiefs had the ball to start the second half. With Kansas City nearing midfield. Wood intercepted Len Dawson and returned it 50 yards to the 5, which set up Elijah Pitts for the pivotal touchdown.

In Super Bowl XLV, the Packers took a 7-0 lead on Aaron Rodgers’ touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson. Moments later, it was 14-0. Howard Green’s big pass rush produced a flutterball interception that Collins returned 37 yards for a touchdown. He added a red-zone stop in the second quarter.

Special Teams

K Don Chandler, P Craig Hentrich, KR Desmond Howard.

In Super Bowl II, Chandler was 4-of-4 on field goals. No kicker has made more field goals in a Super Bowl and only one kicker (Philadelphia’s Jake Elliott, 16 points last year) scored more points than Chandler (15).

Against Denver, Hentrich punted four times. The Broncos had 0 return yards and had drive starts at the 8 and 18.

Howard, of course, was MVP of Super Bowl XXXI. His 99-yard touchdown put away the Patriots. Plus, he returned six punts for 90 yards, including a 32-yarder that set up Brett Favre’s opening touchdown pass to Andre Rison and a 34-yarder that set up a field goal.
