GREEN BAY – The kick that arguably ranks as the most memorable miss of Ryan Longwell’s career with the Packers is the one he calls “one of the biggest blessings.”
That in itself says a lot about how Longwell put together such an impressive career, which began with nine seasons in Green Bay from 1997-2005, when he set a bunch of franchise scoring records.
But, on the day it was announced he’ll be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame this summer, to hear Longwell describe all the post-processing of that moment reveals just how much he took it to heart.
