Paris Lenon came to the Packers as a free agent in 2002 after originally signing with the team in 2001. After spending time with the XFL’s Memphis Maniax and the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe, the linebacker returned to the Packers 2002, starring on special teams with a team-leading 22 tackles. He played for Green Bay until 2005, playing in all 64 regular-season games and four playoff games. In 2005, he had his best performance with the Packers, starting in 12 games and recording 65 tackles (37 solo), six passes defensed, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Lenon went on to play with Detroit, St. Louis, Arizona and Denver, where he started in Super Bowl XLVIII.
Alex Green was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft, becoming the first player in team history drafted from the University of Hawaii. The running back appeared in four games as a rookie before a significant knee injury ended his season early. In 2012, he returned from his injury to assume a prominent role in the backfield, playing in 12 contests and leading the team with 464 rushing yards on 135 carries, adding 18 receptions for 125 yards. He spent the 2013 season with the New York Jets before ending his playing career with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL from 2017-18.
