Legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr passed away Sunday at the age of 85. Starr was a five-time NFL Champion and a two-time Super Bowl Champion, quarterbacking the Packers to victories in Super Bowls I and II. Starr was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977 and is one of just 15 Green Bay players to have his number retired. His name graces the annual NFL award given to the player that shows the most outstanding character. Last season Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell was the recipient of the Bart Starr Award.
