Brookfield— Bob Long was mostly a backup during his four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, except in 1965, when the flanker was pressed into action because of injuries and caught 13 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns.
Had he played for any other team, he might have been forgotten years ago.
But he played for Vince Lombardi. He played in the Ice Bowl. He played in Super Bowls I and II. He played with 11 Hall of Famers.
Today, he's part of a cottage industry — the Glory Years Packers, whose members are still in demand for appearances and autograph signings, still fawned over, still and forever heroes.
