This is pretty cool for both Sharpe and Holmgren!


So, if Sterling Sharpe gets in, who are Packers fans going to whine about being snubbed? It was Jerry Kramer for long time, then LeRoy Butler, now it's Sterling Sharpe. Assuming he gets in, who's next??

Cliff Christl Packers team historian link 

Chris Willis, NFL Films archivist and historian, recently published "The NFL's 60-Minute Men: All-Time Greats of the Two-Way Player Era, 1920-1945." In an exhaustively researched book, Willis listed his choices for the top 45 players of the NFL's first 26 seasons – or one-quarter of the league's history – and ranked Lewellen seventh.
Not only was Lewellen the highest-ranked player not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he was placed one spot behind Bronko Nagurski and one ahead of Sid Luckman, arguably the two greatest Chicago Bears when they won six of the franchise's nine NFL titles.



Or how about announcer Jim Irwin​?

To answer your question who will the fans want? Green.
Who is the most deserving? Lewellen
