Ed West played tight end for the Green Bay Packers for 11 seasons (1984-94) after joining Green Bay as an undrafted rookie. His work ethic and versatility earned him the nickname "The Toolbox," and he played in 167 games for the Packers, which is tied for eighth most all-time in franchise history. West is ranked fifth in franchise annals for touchdown receptions as a rookie (four) and he ended his Packers career with 202 receptions and 25 touchdowns.

Robert Brown was selected by Green Bay in the fourth round of the 1982 NFL Draft out of Virginia Tech. After playing mostly special teams during his rookie campaign, he switched to defensive end in 1983 and became a full-time starter in 1986, holding the position until his final season in 1992. Brown played in 164 regular season games in his 11 seasons (1982-92), more than any other defensive lineman in team history. He played each of his 11 seasons in the NFL with the Packers and recorded 25.5 sacks during his career.
