Bubba Franks was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 2000 NFL Draft, playing eight seasons in Green Bay (2000-2007) recording more than 250 receptions, 2,300 receiving yards and 32 touchdowns. Known for his reliable blocking and being a big target over the middle, Bubba was a mainstay in the Packers lineup throughout his time with the team, and was the third tight end in Packers history to earn three Pro Bowl selections (2001-03).
Ryan Longwell was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 1997 from the University of California, Berkeley, and served as a reliable kicker on the team for nine seasons from 1997 to 2005. During his tenure, he played in 144 consecutive regular-season games and two postseason matchups, earning 1,054 points, notably leading the special teams unit and team in scoring every year he was in Green Bay, ultimately helping the team reach Super Bowl XXXII. Longwell played nine seasons overall and was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2018.
