It might have seemed liked one small jump for LeRoy Butler, but it was actually a giant leap towards becoming a legend.
When Butler received a lateral from Reggie White against the Los Angeles Raiders on December 26, 1993 and ran it in for a touchdown, he had no idea the impact his imminent celebration would have on him or the team he played for. That little hop into the stands was the first Lambeau Leap and would mark the beginning of something truly special, for both Butler and the Green Bay Packers.
Did the safety have any idea the Lambeau Leap would become the staple that it has for one of the NFL’s most storied franchise?
