Best Players to Wear Green Bay Packers Number 95
1) Bryce Paup, LB (1990-94)
NFL Draft: 1990, Round 6, Pick 159 to the Green Bay Packers
Drafted in the sixth round out of Northern Iowa, Bryce Paup became a fantastic NFL linebacker. Unfortunately for Green Bay, his best years weren’t as a Packer.
Paup spent his first five NFL seasons in Green Bay, and he made the Pro Bowl in his final year. In the following season, he was the Defensive Player of the Year with the Buffalo Bills. In his five Packer seasons, Paup totaled 225 tackles, 32.5 sacks, eight forced fumbles and four interceptions.
Following his NFL career, Bryce Paup was the linebackers coach at De Pere High School for a few years, then head coach at Green Bay Southwest High School for several years. He is now the defensive line coach for his alma mater.
2) Tyler Lancaster, DL (2018-22)
NFL Draft: Undrafted in 2018
No offense to Tyler Lancaster, but this list of best players to wear the Packers’ number 95 jersey gets underwhelming in a hurry. Lancaster played four seasons for the Packers, starting 21 games during this span. In these four seasons, Lancaster totaled 110 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
3) Datone Jones, DE (2013-16)
NFL Draft: 2013, Round 1, Pick 26 to the Green Bay Packers
Drafted in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Datone Jones didn’t live up to expectations in Green Bay. In four seasons with the team, Jones started seven games. He totaled 72 tackles and nine sacks with the Packers.
