Mavric Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Neither played in a Super Bowl, barely missing the opportunity, but Ahman Green and Ken Ruettgers were integral parts of the foundation for both of the Green Bay Packers' most-recent Super Bowl-winning teams. The longtime starters will be the 152nd and 153rd players inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame at a ceremony Saturday in the Lambeau Field Atrium. Green, a punishing halfback, played eight seasons with the Packers, including seven straight from 2000 to 2006. He rejoined the team for the 2009 season but was out of the NFL by the next season, when the Packers won Super Bowl XLV. Green is Green Bay's all-time leading rusher with 8,322 yards and was a four-time Pro Bowler (2001-04). He was acquired in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks for cornerback Fred Vinson and set several other team records: yards from scrimmage (11,048), 1,000-yard seasons (six), 100-yard games (33) and rushing attempts (1,851). In 2003, Green set the team's single-season rushing mark (1,883 yards), tied the NFL's second-longest run (98 yards) and set the franchise's single-season touchdown mark (20).
