Wide receiver Robert Brooks and defensive back LeRoy Butler will be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame at the 37th Hall of Fame Induction Banquet on July 21 in the Lambeau Field Atrium.
Brooks, who retired from the Packers following the 1998 season, played seven seasons in Green Bay and ranks 11th on the franchise's all-time receptions list with 306 catches for 4,225 yards and 32 touchdowns.
Brooks was famous for the "Lambeau Leap," a move that was invented by Butler, who was a standout for 12 years (1990-2001). Butler played 181 games, which ranks him seventh on the team's all-time list, and intercepted 38 passes. He also amassed 20 ½ sacks.
Butler, who was named to the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee following the 2000 season, made four Pro Bowl appearances and is considered a candidate for enshrinement in Canton.
Tickets to the banquet are $110. To purchase tickets, contact Gwen Borga at (920) 965-6984 or gborga@packerhalloffame.org.
