On Wednesday morning, the College Football Hall of Fame announced their 132 finalists for their 2022 class, including eight players and coaches who have passed through Green Bay. The highlight of the class, in terms of Packers contributions, is former pass-rusher Julius Peppers, who was an All-American at the University of North Carolina before earning a Pro Bowl in green and gold in 2015.
Five other finalists were signed as players with the Green Bay Packers, but never played a regular season game for the team: quarterbacks Josh Heupel, Michael Bishop and Tim Couch, offensive lineman Joe Garten and running back Rashaan Salaam.
