List of Green Bay Packers NFL All-Rookie Team selections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quay Walker, a rookie out of Georgia, was the most recent NFL All-Rookie Team selection for the Packers after the 2022 NFL season.

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun.[1] They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) and play their home games at Lambeau Field in central Wisconsin.[2][3]

In 1974, Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) began compiling an annual NFL All-Rookie Team made up of the best rookies at each position for the preceding season.[4] The teams are selected by the sportswriters that make up the PFWA.[5] For only one NFL All-Rookie Team, in 1976, the PFWA selected a first-team and second-team; all other teams do not have a distinction. From 1992 to 2012, the All-Rookie Teams were chosen jointly by PFWA and Pro Football Weekly.[4]

The Packers have had 33 players named to 25 NFL All-Rookie Teams. No Packers were selected in the inaugural NFL All-Rookie Team in 1974;[6] Johnnie Gray became the Packers first selection after the 1975 NFL season.[7] The most Packers named to one team came in 2006, when the trio of Greg Jennings, Daryn Colledge and A. J. Hawk were selected.[8] On six other occasions, two Packers have been selected to one team.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Twice, the Packers have had an All-Rookie Team selection also given an NFL Rookie of the Year Award: Tom Flynn in 1984 and Eddie Lacy in 2013.[15][10][16][17] Six All-Rookie Team selections have gone on to be inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, with one of those—James Lofton—also inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[18][19] The most recent All-Rookie Team selection for the Packers was Quay Walker after the 2022 NFL season.[20][21]
