John Anderson was one of the best linebackers in the Green Bay Packers modern era … that’s saying a lot, considering the likes of Ray Nitschke, Dave Robinson and more recent players like Brian Noble and Bryce Paup.
Anderson played a long time for his home state team, having grown up in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Much like one of the newest Packers linebackers, Vince Biegel, a 2017 draft pick, Anderson began his career with an injury. In fact, in his first couple of seasons in Green Bay, Anderson broke his arm three times.
So as we continue our numbers countdown here at Lombardi Ave, we take a stop at #59, and focus in on Anderson.
