Vernon Biever's Photos Through the Years

Long-time Green Bay Packers photographer Vernon Biever passed away at the age of 87. Biever's career spanned from 1941, when Curly Lambeau was the team's coach, to the modern-day team that includes Aaron Rodgers. Here is a small collection of his vast array of images from nearly seven decades of photographing NFL games. (Photo by Vernon Biever/NFL)

Forrest Gregg was the Green Bay Packers' No. 2 draft pick in 1956. He earned an "iron-man" tag by playing in a then league record 188 consecutive games from 1956 until 1971, his final season which he spent with the Super Bowl-bound Dallas Cowboys. As the Packers grew in stature in the 1960s, so too did Gregg. He won All-NFL acclaim eight straight years from 1960 through 1967 and was selected to play in nine Pro Bowls.
