Once the highest-drafted wide receiver since Sterling Sharpe, Ferguson’s career in Green Bay started slow, but peaked when he ended up catching one of the ultimate “trivia question” passes in Packers history.
And that’s just the first three. There are plenty more great stories to come.
How will we pick which Packers to cover? Through the use of Pro Football Reference, we’ve generated a list of every Packers player to appear in at least one regular season or playoff game with the Packers, assigning each player a number. Then, using a random number generator, we’ll pick 10 players at a time. Once we write and record those 10 episodes, we’ll move on to the next 10. Then the next 10. Then the next 10.
How many players will we cover? It’s hard to say. If we did one podcast a week, it’d take us almost 40 years to get to all the players in Packers history. That seems like an unlikely outcome. But even if we don’t get to 2,000, it’ll be fun to dive into Packers history and see what we can learn.
So join us on this journey. The Random Packers Player Podcast is now live. Find it wherever you like to list.
