Nobody on the Green Bay Packers’ roster has worn #87 since Jordy Nelson was given a rather unceremonious farewell in the spring of 2018.
Jordy Nelson is an icon in Green Bay, and no doubt will have a place in the Packers Hall of Fame someday. A humble farm kid from Manhattan, Kansas who passed on playing basketball to play football, he had stolen the hearts of Packers fans since the day he was drafted.
His coy smile, relationship with Aaron Rodgers, and ability to create explosive plays regularly created a Green Bay legend, and a Super Bowl champion along the way.
