In our Walkthroughs post yesterday, we discussed what players we’d bring back from the pre-Wolf/Holmgren/Favre era to improve the 2020 Packers. On top of the list we put together, our readers suggested a few great names in the comments. Courtesy of BuckysBadgers, one name jumped out at me: Jan Stenerud.
At first blush, it seems a little odd. The Packers have a perfectly good kicker! Why try to change what’s going well? And while that may be true, Stenerud’s story might be worth bringing him through our hypothetical time portal.
A Norweigan immigrant, Stenerud came to the United States on a ski jumping scholarship to Montana State.
