Nelson, Sitton credit people, stories behind achievements during Hall of Fame induction

GREEN BAY – For Jordy Nelson and Josh Sitton, their hall of fame careers in Green Bay weren't just about their accomplishments, but also the stories and the people behind those accomplishments.

Nelson, a receiver, and Sitton, a guard, both were drafted by the Packers in 2008 and both last played in 2018 with other teams. They were inducted as the 167th and 168th members during the 52nd Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. Induction Banquet on Aug. 31 in the Lambeau Field Atrium.

"It makes it extra special to be in the same draft class, to win the Super Bowl together, we were lucky enough to go to the Pro Bowl together and be inducted into the Hall of Fame together," Nelson said during a press conference before Thursday's induction.
