Blake Martinez was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Stanford. Martinez quickly became a star on defense, starting nine games as a rookie. By 2017, Martinez was tied for leading the league with 144 tackles and cumulatively racked up 512 total tackles over his four seasons (2016-2019) in Green Bay. He was also the Packers' nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2019. After spending time with the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers, Martinez retired in 2023.
Johnny Jolly was selected by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL Draft and played for the team for five seasons from (2006 – 09) and in 2013. He recorded 135 tackles (89 solo) and five fumble recoveries. He also posted 18 passes defensed during his Green Bay career, including a career-high 11 in 2009, the most by a Packers defensive lineman since the team began recording the statistic in 1980 and the most by any defensive lineman in the league that year. He returned to the Packers in 2013 following a three-year hiatus from football and he appeared in 13 games, starting in eight.
