Chad Clifton

Chad Clifton, an offensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers, has been with the team for almost eleven seasons! Originally drafted in the 2000 NFL Draft out off his University of Tennessee football team, Chad Clifton never expected to have as much success as he has had with the Packers.

As a rookie, he took over the starting left tackle position and quickly became one of the NFL’s best blindside blockers. Besides a few injuries along the way, Clifton has continued to produce results on the Green Bay Packers football team.

When he isn’t playing football, Clifton is hanging out with his wife and two kids as well getting involved in the community as much as he can. Chad Clifton has partaken in numerous charities, including Backfield in Motion for the academic improvement of inner-city youth and the annual Packers Women’s Association Food Drive.

The Green Bay Packers have recently signed Chad Clifton onto their team for another three years. We are happy to have you Chad!

Mark Tauscher

Mark Tauscher, a Wisconsin-native, is proud to be apart of the Green Bay Packers football team. As an offensive tackle for the Packers, Tauscher was originally drafted off his Wisconsin Badgers football team in the 2000 NFL Draft.

Tauscher made his Wisconsin Badgers football team in1995, and didn’t see much action in the first two years. In his junior year at Wisconsin, Tauscher was given his time to shine when he became a starter at right tackle and contributed a great deal as a blocker.

After joining the Green Bay Packers in 2000, Mark Tauscher’s rookie year went smoothly. Tauscher became a starter early in the season, but was injured soon after. When he returned the next season, Tauscher was put right back onto the starting lineup for the Green Bay Packers until he was put on the injured list again.
Tauscher would soon recover and go strong into the 2008 Packers season, when he won the Packers’ 2008 Walter Payton Man of the Year and was voted Packers’ 2008 Ed Block Courage Award winner. Mark has once again signed on with Green Bay as of last month.
