GREEN BAY – Every season in Green Bay, there always seems to be a player or two who comes out of nowhere to provide the Packers an in-season lift.
In 2010, Packers Hall of Fame general manager Ted Thompson claimed monstrous defensive tackle Howard Green off waivers from the New York Jets, a subtle move that put the Packers' run defense over the top during the team's Super Bowl XLV run.
Two years later, car-salesman-turned-lead-running-back DuJuan Harris finished the year atop the Packers' depth chart. In 2015, James Jones (and his hoodie) came to the rescue after Green Bay lost Jordy Nelson to a season-ending knee injury to lead the Packers in receiving.
