Dan Currie

Daniel George Currie (June 27, 1935 – September 11, 2017) was a linebacker from Detroit, Michigan who played college football at Michigan State, earning All-American honors as a linebacker and center in 1957. The Green Bay Packers selected him third overall in the 1958 NFL Draft — the franchise's first pick that year. He spent most of his nine professional seasons with the Packers and Los Angeles Rams. When Vince Lombardi reviewed film of the 1958 Packers' dismal 1–10–1 season, he identified Currie as the only player on the roster he would not trade or release.
