Green Bay Packers Hall Of Fame To Induct Henderson, Rivera And Jonet


The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. announced the 41st Hall of Fame Induction Banquet, to be held the evening of July 23, 2011, in the Lambeau Field Atrium.

The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. announced today that it will induct former fullback William Henderson, former offensive guard Marco Rivera and contributor Frank Jonet at the 41st Hall of Fame Induction Banquet, to be held the evening of July 23, 2011, in the Lambeau Field Atrium.

Henderson, a third-round selection from North Carolina, spent 12 seasons in Green Bay (1995-2006) and appeared in 188 games with 112 starts. His 188 career games were more than all but three players in team history (Brett Favre, Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke). A bruising blocker, Hendreson helped pave the way for seven 1,000-yard rushers. Also a productive contributor with the ball, he caught 320 passes (currently 10th on Packers all-time list) for 2,409 yards (7.5 avg.) and 14 touchdowns, and rushed for 426 yards on 112 carries (3.5 avg.) with five scores. A member of the Packers Super Bowl XXXI and XXXII teams, he earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2004.

Rivera, a sixth-round draft choice from Penn State, played nine seasons (1996-2004) in a Packers uniform, appearing in 125 games with 111 starts, including his final 99 consecutively. He started seven consecutive seasons at guard (1998-2004); just one other Packers guard has started more consecutive years (Jerry Kramer, nine from 1958-1966) since 1958. He also was selected to three Pro Bowls (2002-04). Riveras teammates voted him as the Packers' 2004 'Ed Block Courage Award' winner in recognition of his continuing ability to play through injury.

Jonet (pronounced JAHN-et), a native of Tonet, Wis., was involved with the team since 1919 as office manager for the Indian Packing Company, Curly Lambeaus employer that sponsored the team with funds for uniforms and equipment. Jonet later would be named treasurer in 1935 and then elected to the dual position of secretary-treasurer in 1941, a role in which he served until his death in 1951. Through his association, he was instrumental in helping steer the organization through dire financial situations. In 1920, Jonet was part of a three-man committee that planned a fence to surround Hagemeister Park, allowing the Packers to charge admission and put the organization on sound financial footing. In 1933, he was appointed financial receiver by a local judge when the Packers faced bankruptcy after a fan fell from stadium bleachers and sued the team; Jonet guided the team through the crisis. In 1950 he was one of the main speakers in an organizational meeting that launched a stock drive that again saved the franchise.

Man, I used to love watching Henderson. Especially when we ran a screen or Favre threw a check down to him...he would hurdle the defender like it was nothing.

I wish I had a chance to watch him more (I'm only 16, so I didn't see much of his career).

Yeah, Henderson was amazing. I'm obviously biased here, but IMO, one of the most underrated FBs ever. The guy made only one pro bowl, but that was because Mike Alstott always represented the NFC due to the fact that he was a RB/FB hybrid. As a result Henderson never got the national recognition he deserved. I'm really glad to see him get in the Packers HOF, truly deserved.

Same for Marco, that 2003 team was really something special. Thinking about that offensive line we had then compared to the guys we have now really makes me sad.

03:

LT: Clifton in his prime
LG: Wahle
C: Flanagan
RG: Rivera
RT: Tauscher in his prime

Every single one of those guys was pro bowl caliber, and they were a major part of the reason Ahman Green had 1,800 yards rushing that year. I can't believe that team didn't win the SB. We had the best line in football, one of the top three HBs in football, one of the best QBs in football, and an opportunistic defense that caused tons of turnovers.

Yeah, well, when you're in the NFC divisional round and your defense only manages to notch 8 sacks on Donovan McNabb and your running game ekes out a lousy 200 yards, your quarterback can be forgiven for going 15/28 for 180 yards, 2 TDs, and one catastrophic interception.

[...slow clap ...]

William Henderson is and will forever remain one of my all time favorite players.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

now is the time to resign Rivera and Wahle. Maybe throw in '03 Clifton, too.

Got to meet Henderson before the home MINN game. Got a pic w/him, me and Gilbert. Two of my faves. They found out I was in the military and Gilbert said before the picture, "Hey Will. Stand up. We stand for you guys!" Dudes were class acts.
