Feb. 29 is LeRoy Butler Leap Day

This year is a leap year and there is no better way to honor Packer Hall of Famer LeRoy Butler than making leap day, LeRoy Butler Leap Day.

LeRoy may not have had his moment this leap year by being selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but the Wisconsin State Assembly has declared February 29, 2020 LeRoy Butler’s Leap Day.

Butler was the inventor of the Lambeau Leap. He originated it in a game against the Raiders in 1993, when he took a lateral from Reggie White and ran to the end zone and leaped into the arms of the Green Bay faithful.
