Most Career Passing Yards by a Green Bay Packers Player

If there’s one thing the Packers know how to do, it’s roll out Hall of Fame quarterbacks. From Bart Starr’s dynasty in the ’60s to the legendary Favre-Rodgers handoff that lasted 30 years, Green Bay’s QB lineage is second to none. Now, with Jordan Love already climbing the charts, a new era may be forming in Titletown.

TOP 10 LIST

10. David Whitehurst – 6,205 Yards
Whitehurst was the team’s starter for much of the late ’70s, bridging the gap between two inconsistent decades. He had flashes, but the offense often struggled around him.

9. Arnie Herber – 6,749 Yards
A true pioneer of the forward pass in the 1930s, Herber helped revolutionize the quarterback position. A Hall of Famer who made the most of the limited passing game of his era.

8. Randy Wright – 7,106 Yards
Wright led the team through tough times in the 1980s. While never a star, he started over 30 games and gave the Packers a steady, if unspectacular, signal-caller.

7. Jordan Love – 8,154 Yards
Still early in his career, Love has already cracked the top 10. With a breakout season under his belt, the Packers believe they may have found their next long-term franchise QB.

6. Don Majkowski – 10,870 Yards
“The Majik Man” lit up 1989 with a Pro Bowl season and nearly led Green Bay to the playoffs. Injuries slowed him down afterward, but that one magical year still lives in Packers lore.

5. Tobin Rote – 11,535 Yards
Rote was a bright spot during some dark seasons in the ’50s. He was a dual-threat who carried the offense and even led the league in TDs once.

4. Lynn Dickey – 21,369 Yards
Dickey threw a beautiful deep ball and led one of the most explosive offenses in the league during the early ’80s. He was underrated nationally but adored in Green Bay.

3. Bart Starr – 24,718 Yards
Don’t let the yardage fool you — Starr is the most decorated quarterback in Packers history. A five-time NFL champion and two-time Super Bowl MVP, he defined clutch before it was cool.

2. Aaron Rodgers – 59,055 Yards
Rodgers combined elite efficiency, intelligence, and jaw-dropping arm talent into one of the most dominant careers of the modern era. A four-time MVP and Super Bowl champ, he’s arguably the most talented QB to ever play.

1. Brett Favre – 61,655 Yards
The Iron Man of the NFL. Favre brought fire, flair, and a never-say-die attitude to Green Bay for 16 unforgettable seasons. He still holds the top spot — but not by much.
