Born John Victor McNally, Johnny Blood adopted that name and used it throughout his pro football career, including seven seasons with the Packers. A freewheeling halfback and the biggest playmaker on the great Packers teams that won three straight National Football League championships from 1929 to 1931, he played for the Packers from 1929 to 1933 and again from 1935 to 1936. Don Hutson said, "I never saw a fellow who could turn a ball game around as quickly as Johnny Blood." He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a charter member in 1963 and was also a member of the first class enshrined in the Packers Hall of Fame in 1970.
