Butler, who’s credited with creating one of the most famous touchdown celebrations in the NFL — the Lambeau Leap, is the fourth former city star to earn enshrinement, and the city was quick to celebrate its native son.
Here’s what some current and former Packers had to say:
Congrats to my former teammates, @TonyBoselli and @leap36 . I’ve been blessed to play with so many great players who’ve shown me what excellence between the lines looks like.. I’m ecstatic to see both guys finally get the recognition that they’ve deserved. @Jaguars@packers ❤️🏈 https://t.co/sGcZtA4vWV
