The Green Bay Packers are the most historic franchise in NFL History. Their 13 world championships (and four Super Bowls) sets their team apart from everyone else. Throw in the fact they’re one of the oldest teams, they’re owned by the fans, and they have the smallest city (by far) in the league to have a team makes their story that much more interesting.
With Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers leading the way, they’re also known for their elite quarterbacks. Here are the top five in terms of passing yards.

One: Brett Favre
This one comes as no surprise as Favre was a legend for the team from 1992-2007. Total passing yards with Green Bay: 61,655. (Total passing yards for career: 71,838)
Two: Aaron Rodgers
This is one is also little surprise as Rodgers took over for Favre and led Green Bay to their fourth Super Bowl title in 2010. Total passing yards with Green Bay: 59,055. (Total passing yards for career: 66,274)
Three: Bart Starr
Starr is one of the most beloved Packers of all time. His time with the team (1956-1971) resulted in three championships and was the greatest decade of Packers football. Total passing yards with Green Bay: 24,718. (Only played with Green Bay).
Four: Lynn Dickey
Dickey was one of the lone bright spots of Green Bay’s dark days in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite a losing overall record (43-56) he was one of the original gunslingers. Total passing yards with Green Bay: 21,369. (Total passing yards in career: 23,322)
Five: Tobin Rote and Jordan Love (tied)
This was the most surprising one. Jordan Love is currently tied with Tobin Rote for fifth all-time in passing yards. Rote was the starting quarterback for Green Bay from 1950-1956, right before Bart Starr took over. Total passing yards for Love and Rote: 11,535. (Rote’s career passing yards: 18,850)
Love will pass Rote and take his sole spot as fifth all-time in passing yards this season. He will need a few more seasons to reach Dickey at four.
