Green Bay Packers Heroes

As I was researching the many packers heroes, people who made a fame and a name that cannot be slain for the Packers, and among them were the infamous Brett Favre, Vince Lombardi, Reggie White, Curly Lambeau, and Ray Nitschke just to name a few, can be separated into three different columns. They are heroes who play with their hearts not their heads (all the time at least) on the field, players who play with their hearts out in the community, and players who play with their hearts out on the field of the world, metaphorically speaking, changing the lives of people. The people who play with their hearts are all of the above and more like Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Nick Collins, Ryan Grant, Aaron Rodgers and the one and only Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, they all play tremendously on the field; they do things that are illogical and they constantly bend the play rules risking the ball and possible points but because they take risks they are rewarded with our love and support. Those are the heroes of our time, the people who risk everything for the love and adoration of other people.
