1961 Topps football card of former Green Bay Packer receiver Boyd Dowler, who played 12 seasons in the NFL, 11 of them with Green Bay. He was Bart Starr’s go-to guy during the Packers’ dynasty years in the 1960s, helping them with 5 championships in a seven year span. Dowler was NFL Rookie of the Year in 1959, and was named to the All Decade team for the ’60s. In an era where “specialists” weren’t the norm, he was also his team’s punter. Dowler is currently a scout for the Atlanta Falcons.
