Jim Taylor

Jim Taylor was a five-time Pro Bowl running back during the Green Bay Packers' "Glory Years" of the 1960's. He was the first member of the Vince Lombardi Packers to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1976. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in five consecutive seasons from 1960 to 1964 and set an NFL record with 19 rushing touchdowns in 1962. Alongside quarterback Bart Starr and fellow running back Paul Hornung, he was a key part of one of the NFL's most formidable backfields. He led the Packers to four NFL Championships, including Super Bowl I in 1966, and remains the Packers' all-time leading ground gainer with 8,207 yards. Heading into the 2001 season, he ranked 16th among the NFL's career rushers with 8,597 yards over 10 seasons. Before joining the Packers, he had a stellar collegiate career at Louisiana State University, where he set school records for rushing attempts with 162 and rushing touchdowns with 12, and was named LSU's MVP, All-Southeastern Conference, and All American.
