Johnny “Blood” McNally had two productive runs with the Green Bay Packers (he played for five teams in total) and would help them win four NFL Championships.  Playing Halfback, the versatile McNally would be a member of the NFL 1930’s All-Decade Team and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the first class of 1963 and Green Bay's first Hall of Fame class in 1970.
While John Anderson may never made the Pro Bowl, he was one of the most consistent players of his day and was also thought of as one of the most complete.  Anderson would three times be named the Packers Defensive Player of the Year and the Pro Football Hall of Fame named him to the Second Team of the 1980’s.  The Packers would also induct Anderson to their Hall of Fame in 1998.
Fred “Fuzzy” Thurston is one of the few players to have six championships in the National Football League, winning an additional title in Baltimore along with the five he captured as a Packer.  The native of Wisconsin would be named a First Team All-Pro in 1961.  He entered the Packers Hall of Fame as part of the class of 1975.
The move to Center paid dividends for both Frank Winters and the Green Bay Packers, who they signed after six uneventful seasons in Cleveland, New York (G) and Cleveland.  Winters would start 141 games for the Packers and would make the 1996 Pro Bowl roster.  This would prove to be a pretty good career for a player who was nicknamed “Old Bag of Donuts”.

The Packers elected Winters to their Hall of Fame in 2008.
