With 72 days left until the start of the Green Bay Packers NFL season, our countdown to the big day continues. Sunday, Sept. 13, is the day when the Packers travel to Chicago to take on the Bears.Over the course of the next 72 days we focus on the number that represents the days remaining … today it’s number 72.

Yesterday, we took a look at Aaron Taylor, the best Packers player to wear #73.

Number 72 in Green Bay has been worn by the likes of Ben Davidson (yes, that Ben Davidson who went on to star with those Oakland Raiders teams of the 1960s), Tom Neville, andDick Himes.
