Packers' kicking woes: 1968 to 1971

Chris Jacke was the Packers’ placekicker from 1989-96, ranked second to Don Hutson on the team’s all-time scoring list and was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2013. Ryan Longwell followed him and kicked from 1997 to 2005, broke Hutson’s record and will be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame this summer. Mason Crosby arrived on the scene in 2007, broke Longwell’s record three years ago and almost certainly will be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in the future.

Other than 2006 when Dave Rayner handled the team’s kicking, that’s almost three decades where the Packers didn’t have to worry about the reliability of their kicker.
