NFL: 

The Pro Football Writers of America are honoring first-year Green Bay Packers Darnell Savage, Junior and Elgton Jenkins. Savage, a safety, and guard Jenkins were both named to the N-F-L’s All-Rookie Team. Green Bay selected Savage number-21 overall out of Maryland in the first round of the 2019 N-F-L Draft. He had 55 tackles and two interceptions in his rookie season. Jenkins was a second-round pick out of Mississippi State and started 14 games for the Packers in the regular season, plus last week’s playoff win over Seattle.

 

Old school Packers safety Bobby Dillon is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Centennial Class of 2020.  Dillon still owns the Green Bay franchise record for interceptions with 52 over eight N-F-L seasons – and teams only played 12 games in that era.  He played for the Pack from 1952 to 1959 and retired after Vince Lombardi’s first year as head coach. Dillon died last August at age 89. He will be formally recognized next month at the N-F-L Honors ceremony as the 26th member of the Packers to be enshrined in Canton, Ohio.
