Mason Crosby Nominated for Hall of Fame, Youngest Packers Legend to Achieve Honor

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.

Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
