Green Bay, WI – May 28, 2025
The Green Bay Packers are celebrating a monumental moment as former kicker Mason Crosby has been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025. At age 40, Crosby becomes the youngest Packers legend to receive this prestigious nomination, cementing his legacy as one of the NFL’s all-time greats.
Crosby, who spent 16 seasons with the Packers (2007-2022), is widely regarded as one of the most reliable kickers in league history. With a franchise-record 1,918 points, he stands as Green Bay’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing legend Don Hutson. His 81.4% field goal accuracy and clutch performances under pressure have left an indelible mark.
“Mason embodies consistency and professionalism,” head coach Matt LaFleur said during a press conference today. “This nomination is a well-deserved recognition of his incredible contributions.”
Selected in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft, Crosby quickly became a cornerstone of the Packers’ special teams. He holds the franchise record with 395 successful field goals and nailed a career-long 58-yard kick against the Detroit Lions in 2011. His iconic 51-yard field goal in the 2016 playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys remains a defining moment.
Packers Nation erupted on X: “Mason Crosby to the Hall of Fame? Absolutely deserved! Youngest Packers legend!” one fan posted. Another wrote, “Those snowy Lambeau kicks are unforgettable memories.”
Beyond the field, Crosby is beloved for his community work in Wisconsin, regularly engaging in local charity efforts. After leaving Green Bay in 2022, he briefly played for the New York Giants before retiring in 2023.
Crosby’s nomination is a point of pride for the Packers community. If officially inducted in February 2026 in Canton, Ohio, he will join Packers icons like Vince Lombardi, Brett Favre, and Reggie White in the Hall of Fame. Fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement, rallying behind their “scoring king” as he eyes football immortality.
