Davis spent two years in Cleveland before Vince Lombardi traded for him in 1960. The defensive end started immediately in Green Bay, helping the Packers win back-to-back championships in 1961 and '62. An All-Pro for the first time in 1962, Davis earned five consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 1963-67 that also included four straight All-Pro selections.

I remember his 71 Topps card standing out for me as a kid. It's interesting how a single card could become the image for a certain player in your mind. For me, it's the 71 Wood.
Edited to note the recent passing of another 1960's Packer great Willie Davis.

Sad day not only for Packers fans but for all of football.
So sad. These were the guys and Packer teams which made me a Green Bay Packer Backer for life!
