“Thank you Packers fans for all the support for 16 seasons. Thank you to the Packers organization for the opportunity to play the game I love. Thank you to all of my teammates over the 16 seasons. We had an incredible run and I am so grateful for the friendships formed that will last a lifetime.”
That incredible run started when he was selected in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of the University of Colorado.
Crosby played in 238 regular-season games and 23 post-season contests during his 16 years with the Packers, ranking him number one in team history for games played and consecutive games played.
He’s tied for the second-most seasons played in franchise history, sharing that honor with quarterbacks Bart Starr and Brett Favre.
Crosby helped the Packers win a Super Bowl and nine division titles, making the playoffs 12 times and reaching the NFC championship six times.
Among kickers with 50-plus career attempts, he ranks second in franchise history with a field goal percentage of 81.44.
