Friday Cheese Curds: Packers honor Jordy Nelson and Josh Sitton

Amid the post-training camp pause, the Packers spent a portion of this week honoring a pair of greats, inducting Jordy Nelson and Josh Sitton into the team’s hall of fame.

Nelson and Sitton need no introduction, which makes them obvious candidates for induction. Nelson’s career highlight reel and statistics make him a shoo-in, and Sitton was great enough as a lineman — and outspoken enough elsewhere — that even casual fans had an appreciation of what he could do on the field.

The Packers hall of fame remains one of the crown jewels of the franchise, and it’s great to see two more well-deserving players get the final honors of their careers.
