Breaking Down The Packer 87 Man Roster



It is August 20th, 2015.  I have over the present Packer roster many, many , many times!  And because I am retired, love numbers, love analyzing, and MOST of all LOVE the Packers, I will continue the breakdown the Packer roster!  So, here are some fun numbers for you to ponder!

87 - the present number of players on the team.  Most NFL teams have 90 and have had 90.  For some reason, the Packers, mainly Ted Thompson have had 87, 88, or 89, NEVER 90.  If you listen to Thompson, he is a different kind of GM.  And 87 is different!

25 - Rookies.
There are 25 rookies on the roster.  That is young!
And, the rest of the roster breaks down as follows
11 - players with 1 year, 16 - players with 2 years,
10 - players with 3 years
5 - players with 4 years
2 - players with 5 years
7 - players with 6 years
3 - players 7 years
4 - players with 8 years
1 - player with 9 years
1 - player with 10 years
1 - player with 11 years
and 1 - player with 14 years!  THAT IS A LOT OF Numbers!

2 - 2 players from California with the last name of Rodgers!

23 - players that weigh over 300 pounds on the roster!

14 - the years of experience for Julius Peppers!  And he is a physical stud!  While Matthews misses practice after practice - Peppers is a BEAST!  Some players are just a physical specimen!  Julius Peppers is amazing and NEEDS a Super Bowl Ring!

11- 11 years a Packer - longest tenure on the Packers - Aaron Rodgers!  Another reason the Packers NEED a Super Bowl Ring!

And the LAST number for today?  4

Yes I said 4!

4 is the number of Brett Favre - retiring his number this year!

And BEST of all!!

4 is the number of 
HOME Packer games 
the Packer Buddies 
are attending this year!!!
