Allen Barbre

Allen Barbre has been with the Green Bay Packers since he was drafted in the 2007 NFL Draft right off his Missouri Southern State University football team. Barbre currently holds the title of being the highest-ever drafted player out of MSSU. At Missouri, Allen Barbre was an All-American, All-MIAA and All-Region first-team selection for the 2006 season. Barbre also helped a few teammates reach school records as well. I look forward to seeing what Allen Barbre will bring to the Green Bay Packers in the future!

Desmond Bishop

Desmond Bishop, also known as ‘Dez,’ was born and raised in San Francisco, California. Bishop has always had a deep interest in community involvement, participating in the charity sporting events with Brett Farve and Al Harris, as well as making improvements to the United Way’s local shelter. Desmond is also very well rounded in literature and loves writing poetry and short stories.

His father had played football in college and professionally in the USFL, so it was no surprise when Desmond began to show great interest in the sport. After graduating high school, Bishop decided to attend junior college before joining on with the Cal Bears football team. At Cal, Bishop started all 25 games he played in and led the Bears in tackles both seasons he played with them. Over his college career, Desmond earned multiple achievements including honorable mention from The NFL Draft Report and All-Pac-10 first-team accolades.

Upon graduation in 2007, Desmond Bishop was signed on by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth-round pick. The beginning of the season started off a little shaky, but toward the end of his rookie year Desmond began to hold his own. Bishop has continued to improve with each practice and is striving to be at the top of the Pack!

DeShawn Wynn is ready to go

DeShawn Wynn is a 26 year old from Cincinnati, Ohio who has worked his way up the ranks to become a running back for the Green Bay Packers. Wynn was signed on by the Packers right out off his Florida college football team in the 2007 NFL Draft. At Florida, DeShawn Wynn spent the majority of his four years as the starting tailback, finishing his career with a 2007 BCS National Championship under his belt.

After being drafted by the Green Bay Packers, DeShawn Wynn scored his first two career touchdowns within his second week in the NFL. Unfortunately, later in the season Wynn injured his shoulder and was put on the injured reserve for the rest of the season. Wynn would be later released and re-signed by the Packers practice squad where he remained only a month.

DeShawn Wynn knows he does not belong on the practice squad and is determined to prove that to his team this season. Don’t miss a Green Bay Packers game this year, because Wynn and the rest of the Packer players are bringing everything they’ve got.

Korey Hall

This change was okay with Hall, because he is just happy to be on the team. In his second season with the Packers, Korey Hall played in eleven games and only hopes to improve.

At Nebraska, Jackson started the majority of the games and made a huge impression on his fans, teammates and coaches alike. This talent on the football field brought Jackson into his professional career with the Green Bay Packers in 2007.

With the Packers, Brandon Jackson scored his first NFL touchdown only three weeks in against the San Diego Chargers. Jackson also topped the 100 yard mark for the first time in his career shortly after. Jackson made such an impression, that he was voted the NFL Rookie of the Week. Brandon Jackson is ready to keep the momentum going this next season, so don’t miss out on a Green Bay Packers game!

Mason Crosby

Mason Crosby is a placekicker for the Green Bay Packers who has made great strides in his first two years on the team. Crosby has posted more points than any NFL player in history during their first two seasons on a team, and continues to improve. Although Mason Crosby was drafted in 2007, he has already been named to the All-Decade team for the first nine years of the 2000s by The Sporting News. This feat makes Crosby the best collegiate kicker of the decade.


As a University of Colorado football player, Mason Crosby was considered the best kicker and named one of the Top 5 Seniors by position in 2006. Crosby was also selected as a First Team All-American for the 2005 NCAA Division I-A football season. Mason was Colorado’s all-time leading scorer by over fifty points, which made him the first Big 12 Conference player in history to be named player of the week eight times.


Mason Crosby was the 19th pick of the sixth round in the 2007 NFL Draft, where he was plucked by the Green Bay Packers. Crosby blew away the Packers in his first pre-season game when he kicked a 52-yard field goal. This was the longest field goal in the history of Heinz Field so he definitely made an impression. Crosby has been going strong with Green Bay ever since, and was even voted the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week finishing the season with the highest-scoring in kicker franchise history.
