The Green Bay Packers announced Tuesday that former players Jordy Nelson and Josh Sitton will become members of the team’s Hall of Fame in 2023.
Nelson played wide receiver for the Packers for nine seasons (2008-17). He was selected in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft and finished four in franchise history in receptions, sixth in receiving yards, and third in touchdown receptions. In Super Bowl XLV, Nelson became just the fourth receiver in Super Bowl history to have nine-plus receptions for at least 140 yards and a touchdown. Nelson was named a second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler in 2014 after setting career highs in receptions (98) and receiving yards (1,519) while hauling in 13 touchdowns.
