A tough, two-way tackle for most of his career, Dick Wildung played seven seasons from 1946 under Curly Lambeau through 1953, Gene Ronzani’s final year as coach. It was a lean period in Packers history, but Wildung was one of the team’s few stalwarts and one of the last players to double on offense and defense. He was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1973. Wildung got a late start on his pro career. Drafted in the first round with the eighth overall selection in 1943, he missed three seasons while serving in the Navy during World War II.
