Levens just signed a contract with the Packers, just so he can retire a Packer. I love it when players do this. Because of the way the NFL is setup, it’s difficult for players to stay with one team their entire career. After leaving Green Bay, Levens played for the Eagles for a year, the Giants for a year, and then the Eagles again for another year. He won’t be actually playing for Green Bay again, but he gets to retire a Packer.

Levens didn’t have a phenomenal career, but he had some solid years in the mid-late 90’s. He came into the league with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. He originally played for Notre Dame, but for whatever reason, fell out of favor the coaching staff. He transferred to Georgia Tech. He was drafted in the fifth round by the Packers, where he paired up with Edgar Bennett to create a pretty lethal one-two punch. I’ll always remember Edgar crunching out the tough yards early in games, and then Dorsey pounding the defense later in the second half. After Bennett left town, Dorsey really turned into a good all-around back for a few years, before injuries took a toll on him.

Me, and I’m sure many other Packer fans, are happy to see Dorsey retire wearing Green and Gold; so to speak.
