With 87 days left until the start of the Green Bay Packers NFL season, our countdown to the big day, Sunday, Sept. 13, when the Packers travel to Chicago to take on the Bears will focus on the the number that represents the days remaining … today it’s #87.
We highly recommend “Packers by the Numbers: Jersey Numbers and the Players Who Wore Them,” by John Maxymuk. The book, which chronicles every Packers jersey number was published in 2003, so it may be a bit incomplete, but it provides a strong background of information about Packers players and their jersey numbers up to that point in time.
