Bart Starr, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers are quite the trifecta of quarterbacks for any franchise. The Packers were fortunate to have long runs with each. That also means plenty of receivers enjoyed stellar careers on the receiving end of their passes.
15. William Henderson
A fullback makes the list! William Henderson played for the Packers from 1995-2006. He caught 320 passes for 2,409 yards and 14 TDs. The former North Carolina running back had 426 rushing yards in his career, 106 more than the number of catches he made.
14. Paul Coffman
Kansas State makes a couple of appearances on the list. Paul Coffman was a tight end who came to the Packers via the Wildcats. He caught 322 balls while playing with Green Bay from 1978-85. Coffman was consistent as he had six seasons with between 43 and 56 grabs.
13. Max McGee
An absolute legend in Green Bay on and off the field was Max McGee. He played his entire career from 1954-67 as a Packer after attending college at Tulane. Fifty of his 345 catches went for touchdowns. Every season he averaged double-digit yards per catch, including a league-leading 23.2 in 1959. McGee caught two TD passes from Bart Starr in the first “Super Bowl,” including the first score in the game.
12. Davante Adams
Davante Adams is No. 12 and rising like a bullet. The wideout from Fresno State has been with Green Bay since 2014. And No. 12. Aaron Rodgers, loves finding him. Adams has 348 receptions and 39 touchdowns in what appears to be a glorious career in Wisconsin.
11. Ahman Green
Ahman Green played two seasons with the Seahawks before catching on big time in Green Bay. He caught 350 passes, 14 going for touchdowns. His long was 48 yards.
10. James Jones
James Jones came to the Packers from San Jose State. In eight of his nine NFL seasons he played for Green Bay. As a Packer, Jones grabbed 360 passes, 45 that went for touchdowns.
9. Greg Jennings
Greg Jennings arrived in Green Bay from Western Michigan. He spent the first seven seasons of his 10-year career as a Packer. Fifty-three of the 425 passes he caught in GB went for touchdowns. Jennings averaged 15.4 yards per reception for Green Bay.
8. Antonio Freeman
Antonio Freeman played all but one year of his career as a Packer. His best season was 1998 when he caught 84 passes for a league-leading 1,424 yards. Freeman averaged 15.4 yards per catch on 431 receptions as a Packer.
7. Boyd Dowler
Boyd Dowler played every year but one in Green Bay. He caught 448 passes — most from the Hall of Famer Bart Starr — for 6,918 yards. The flanker caught a career-high 54 balls in 1967.
6. Don Hutson
The legendary Don Hutson caught 99 touchdown passes as a Packer. Talk about a scoring machine, the former Alabama star grabbed 488 passes overall, meaning he scored on almost one out of every five receptions. He led the NFL in TD grabs in nine of his first 10 seasons with Green Bay.
5. Randall Cobb
Randall Cobb will have to get used to catching passes from someone other than Aaron Rodgers as the former Kentucky standout signed with the Dallas Cowboys for 2019. In his Green Bay career, the wideout caught 470 passes in eight seasons, 41 for TDs.
4. James Lofton
The great wideout from Stanford, James Lofton caught 530 of his 764 NFL receptions as a Packer. Lofton accounted for 9,956 yards receiving with Green Bay. He led the league in yards per catch in 1983 and ’84, eclipsing 22 ypc in each season.
3. Jordy Nelson
Another Kansas State player who came to find great success in Green Bay was recently retired Jordy Nelson. A favorite target of Aaron Rodgers, Nelson grabbed 550 passes in his nine seasons as a Packer. He accounted for 7,848 yards and 69 touchdowns in the classic Green Bay uniform.
2. Sterling Sharpe
The wonderfully talented Sterling Sharpe had his career cut far too short. The former South Carolina star spent his entire NFL days with Green Bay, playing from 1988-94. Still, he grabbed 595 passes, leading the league in the category three times. His best seasons were 1992 and ’93 when he caught 220 passes for better than 2,700 yards and 24 TDs.
1. Donald Driver
Donald Driver played his entire career with the Packers, from 1999-2012. The bulk of his production came between 2002-10. In that span he caught as many as 92 passes in one season and never less than 51. Overall, Driver was targeted 1,234 times and caught 742 passes for 10,137 yards and 61 TDs.
