In 1993, Reggie White became a free agent and was signed by the Green Bay Packers, where he played for six seasons. While not quite as prolific as in his years with the Philadelphia Eagles, White still notched up another 68.5 sacks, to become the Packers' all-time leader in that category. He helped the Packers to two Super Bowls, including a victory in Super Bowl XXXI. That victory was the only championship White ever shared in at any level. In 1998, White was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. At the time of his retirement, White was the NFL's all-time sacks leader with 198. White also recorded three interceptions, which he returned for 79 yards. He recovered nineteen fumbles, which he returned for 137 yards and three touchdowns. His nine consecutive seasons (1985–1993) with at least ten sacks remain an NFL record. He was named an All-Pro for thirteen of his fifteen seasons, including ten as first-team selection. |
