Forrest Gregg, Hall of Fame offensive lineman who spent 14 of his 15 seasons as a player with the Green Bay Packers and four seasons as head coach, passed away on April 12 at the age of 85 due to complications associated with Parkinson’s disease.
Gregg played college ball at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He was drafted by the Packers in the second round (20th overall) in the 1956 NFL Draft. He was mostly a right tackle during the Packers dynasty seasons under head coach Vince Lombardi. Gregg made six consecutive Pro Bowls from 1959 through 1964 and three more from 1966 through 1968.
