“I’m just so, so thankful, so grateful for the
opportunity to come to Green Bay in 2007, drafted in the sixth
round out of the University of Colorado, to become a Packer and
to be a part of this fraternity and legacy, the history of the
Green Bay Packers,” Crosby said. “It’s about the fans. It’s
about the people. It’s about my teammates. For me, I was always
a ‘we’ guy. We’re doing this. We’re dominating and winning the
NFC North nine times while I was a Green Bay Packer for 16
years, making the playoffs, winning the Super Bowl as a team.
For me, everything I remember and everything I think about is
about the team.”
Crosby made 81.3% of his career field-goal attempts (400 of 492)
and 97.2% of his extra points (739 of 760) during a career spent
almost entirely in Green Bay.
The Packers opted against re-signing Crosby in 2023 and instead
drafted Anders Carlson in the sixth round of that year’s draft.
Crosby played three games for the New York Giants in 2023 and
went 5 of 7 on field-goal attempts. He spent this season away
from the game.
Crosby’s 1,918 points with Green Bay gave him 864 more than any
other Packer. Ryan Longwell ranks second on Green Bay’s career
scoring list with 1,054 points from 1997-2005. Counting those
three games with the Giants, Crosby scored 1,939 points to rank
11th in NFL history.
Crosby also appeared in a franchise-record 258 games with the
Packers, three more than Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre
played for Green Bay from 1992-2007.
