Younger Green Bay Packers fans probably know Jim Taylor’s name, but as a member of the Vince Lombardi-era Packers, Taylor’s playing days are largely a distant memory. This weekend, Taylor passed away at the age of 83, and we at APC would like to take some time to remember his contributions to the Packers and his life as a whole before we fully shift our focus to tonight’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Taylor was a Packer before Lombardi arrived in Green Bay, but the Louisiana native quickly impressed his new head coach with his physical running style.
