Green Bay Packers All-Time Interceptions Leaders starts with Bobby Dillon, the franchise record-holder with 52 interceptions. That number has survived the Lombardi dynasty, the Favre era, the Rodgers era and every great Packers defensive back who came after him.
Green Bay has one of the better defensive back histories in the NFL. Willie Wood and Herb Adderley helped power the Lombardi-era secondary. LeRoy Butler and Charles Woodson gave the Packers modern Hall of Fame playmaking. Tramon Williams made huge championship-run plays. Don Hutson even shows up here because early football stars often had to dominate both ways.

How This Packers Interceptions List Works
This list ranks the Green Bay Packers all-time interceptions leaders by regular-season defensive interceptions recorded with the Packers franchise. Playoff interceptions, preseason stats and interceptions recorded with another NFL team are not included.
That team-only filter matters for players like Charles Woodson, Darren Sharper and Tramon Williams, who also had NFL production outside Green Bay. For this article, only their Packers interceptions count.
This leaderboard is based on regular-season franchise interception totals from Packers career defensive leaderboards. Ties are handled naturally: LeRoy Butler and Charles Woodson are both listed at No. 4 with 38 interceptions, while Don Hutson and Tramon Williams are both listed at No. 9 with 30.
Last updated: 2026 offseason. No active Packers player appears in the top 25 table below, but active defensive backs can change future versions of the leaderboard.
Interceptions vs. Packers Defensive Back Legacy
Interceptions are not the same thing as a full defensive back ranking. A player can be a great corner or safety without piling up huge interception totals, especially if quarterbacks stop throwing his way. Still, interceptions remain one of the clearest ways to measure ball production and game-changing value.
That is why this list pairs well with the best Green Bay Packers defensive players of all-time ranking. Bobby Dillon leads the stat board, but Willie Wood, Herb Adderley, LeRoy Butler and Charles Woodson all have broader all-time defensive cases because of coverage, versatility, postseason impact and championship value.
The list also shows how deep Green Bay’s secondary history is. The Packers have old-school two-way stars, Lombardi-era Hall of Famers, 1990s playmakers, 2000s corners and modern safeties all packed into the same leaderboard.
1. Bobby Dillon — 52 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1952–1959 with Green Bay, franchise-record 52 interceptions, 94 games, 976 interception return yards, five interception return touchdowns and Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back.
Bobby Dillon is the Green Bay Packers all-time interceptions leader, and his record remains one of the strongest individual marks in franchise history. Reaching 52 interceptions in only eight seasons is not just impressive; it is outrageous.
Dillon was a true ballhawk. He read quarterbacks early, attacked the football aggressively and turned takeaways into field-position swings. He led the Packers in interceptions in seven of his eight seasons, which shows this was not a one-year spike.
The Packers have had Hall of Fame defensive backs since Dillon’s era, but nobody has passed his number. Until someone reaches 53 interceptions in Green Bay, Dillon remains the franchise’s regular-season interception king.
2. Willie Wood — 48 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1960–1971 with Green Bay, 48 interceptions, 166 games, 699 interception return yards, two interception return touchdowns, five NFL championships, two Super Bowl wins and Pro Football Hall of Fame safety.
Willie Wood ranks second in Packers career interceptions and remains one of the greatest safeties in team history. He was the back-end organizer of the Lombardi defense, and his instincts helped make Green Bay’s secondary one of the toughest groups of its era.
Wood’s 48 interceptions show both longevity and playmaking. He was not simply benefiting from a dominant front; he was a major reason that defense could close drives and punish mistakes.
His interception in Super Bowl I is one of the defining defensive plays of Green Bay’s early Super Bowl legacy. Wood also belongs in the larger best safeties of all-time conversation, not just the Packers record book.
3. Herb Adderley — 39 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1961–1969 with Green Bay, 39 interceptions, 125 games, 795 interception return yards, seven interception return touchdowns, five NFL championships, two Super Bowl wins and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback.
Herb Adderley ranks third in Packers career interceptions, and his return production makes the number even more valuable. He was not just catching bad throws. He was turning them into touchdowns.
Adderley had elite speed, coverage ability and ball skills. He could match top receivers, close space quickly and punish quarterbacks who tested him late.
His seven interception return touchdowns are a huge part of his Packers legacy. As one of the greatest corners in NFL history, Adderley’s place near the top of this leaderboard fits perfectly with his broader all-time cornerback case.
4. LeRoy Butler — 38 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1990–2001 with Green Bay, 38 interceptions, 181 games, 533 interception return yards, 20.5 sacks, one Super Bowl championship and Pro Football Hall of Fame safety.
LeRoy Butler is tied for fourth in Packers career interceptions with 38. He was one of the most complete defensive backs Green Bay has ever had.
Butler could play deep safety, work near the line of scrimmage, cover, blitz and create turnovers. His interception total is only one part of the story because his 20.5 sacks show how much he affected the game in other ways.
He became a core piece of Green Bay’s 1990s defensive identity and helped the Packers win Super Bowl XXXI. Butler’s versatility is why he remains one of the most important defenders in franchise history.
4. Charles Woodson — 38 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 2006–2012 with Green Bay, 38 interceptions, 100 games, 568 interception return yards, nine interception return touchdowns, 11.5 sacks, 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and one Super Bowl championship.
Charles Woodson is tied with LeRoy Butler at 38 interceptions, but he did it in only 100 regular-season games with Green Bay. His Packers peak was one of the best defensive runs in modern team history.
Woodson was a matchup weapon. He could play outside corner, slot corner, safety and rover roles, which made him one of the most flexible defenders in the league. That flexibility helped him create turnovers from places quarterbacks did not always expect.
His 2009 Defensive Player of the Year season was elite, and his nine interception return touchdowns with the Packers show how dangerous he was after the catch. Woodson’s Green Bay career was shorter than some names here, but the impact was massive.
6. Darren Sharper — 36 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1997–2004 with Green Bay, 36 interceptions, 121 games, 677 interception return yards and five interception return touchdowns.
Darren Sharper ranks sixth in Packers career interceptions. On the field, he was one of Green Bay’s most productive takeaway safeties of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Sharper had range, anticipation and strong ball skills. His 36 interceptions show how often he was around the football, and his five interception return touchdowns gave those takeaways extra weight.
His off-field criminal history is a serious part of any broader discussion of his legacy. This article is limited to the Packers statistical leaderboard, and in that narrow context, his interception production remains part of the record book.
7. Irv Comp — 34 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1943–1949 with Green Bay, 34 interceptions, 69 games, 483 interception return yards and two interception return touchdowns.
Irv Comp ranks seventh in Packers career interceptions and had one of the best single-season interception peaks in franchise history.
Comp intercepted 10 passes as a rookie in 1943. In a shorter-season era, that kind of total jumps off the page even more than it would today.
He was also a versatile old-school player who contributed in multiple ways. His 34 interceptions in only 69 games keep him firmly in the Packers top 10.
8. Mark Lee — 31 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1980–1990 with Green Bay, 31 interceptions, 157 games and 249 interception return yards.
Mark Lee ranks eighth in Packers career interceptions. He was a steady defensive back through the 1980s, a difficult era for the franchise but one that still produced several useful individual defenders.
Lee’s value came through durability and consistency. He played a lot of football for Green Bay and kept finding ways to create takeaways, even when the team around him was not always strong.
With 31 interceptions, Lee remains ahead of several better-known Packers defensive backs. His place on this list is well-earned.
9. Don Hutson — 30 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1935–1945 with Green Bay, 30 officially recorded interceptions, 389 interception return yards, one interception return touchdown, three NFL championships and Pro Football Hall of Fame end.
Don Hutson is tied for ninth in Packers interceptions, which sounds strange only if you think of him strictly as a receiver.
Hutson played in an era when stars often played both ways. He was a dominant offensive end, but he also contributed defensively. Interceptions were not officially recorded for his entire career, so his full defensive value may be even larger than the 30 picks listed here.
His presence on this leaderboard is a reminder of how different early pro football was. Hutson was not just a receiving legend; he was a complete football player.
9. Tramon Williams — 30 Interceptions
Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 2007–2014 and 2018–2020 with Green Bay, 30 interceptions, 159 games, 419 interception return yards and one interception return touchdown.
Tramon Williams is tied with Don Hutson at 30 interceptions, giving him a deserved place inside the Packers top 10. He was one of Green Bay’s most dependable modern cornerbacks.
Williams was especially important during the Super Bowl XLV run. His interception against the Eagles and pick-six against the Falcons were two of the biggest defensive plays on Green Bay’s path to the title.
His regular-season interception total, long Packers career and playoff moments make him one of the most respected defensive backs from the Aaron Rodgers era.
Biggest Takeaways From the Packers Interceptions List
The biggest takeaway is that Bobby Dillon’s record still stands. His 52 interceptions remain the most in Green Bay Packers history, and no player has seriously threatened that mark in decades.
The second takeaway is how strong the Lombardi-era secondary was. Willie Wood and Herb Adderley both rank in the top three, showing how much takeaway ability Green Bay had during its greatest championship run.
The third takeaway is Don Hutson’s unique place on the list. He is remembered as one of the most important receivers ever, but his 30 officially recorded interceptions show how much value he brought as a two-way player too.
