GREEN BAY, Wis. – Sunday marked the 25th anniversary of the passing of Green Bay Packers legend Don Hutson.
Hutson was part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s inaugural class of 1963. You could argue no player dominated any sport like Hutson dominated the young NFL.
Said his Hall of Fame presenter, Dante Lavelli: “Don Hutson set records for pass catching and scoring which only legislation can wipe out. He is a football yard stick. Each bright new receiver is hailed as a second Don Hutson and later perhaps as a better than Hutson.
