27 has been worn by two Hall of Famers, in Clarke Hinkle, Cal Hubbard, and a Packer Hall of Famer, in Hank Bruder. Rugged, undersized defensive back Johnny Symank wore the number longest in Green Bay (six seasons), and the longest gap with no Packer wearing 27 was from 1974-83.
Myrt Basing first wore 27 in 1927. In the Lambeau era, Basing was joined by five other backs (Bo Molenda 1928-30, Hinkle 1932, Bruder 1935-36, Don Miller 1941-42 and Jack Jacobs 1947-49), five tackles and one guard (Perry 1931, Hubbard 1933, Lou Midler 1940, Chet Adams 1943, Solon Barnett 1945 and guard Chuck Tollefson 1946) and one end (Keith Ranspot 1942). Miller appeared on the active roster for two years, but never actually appeared in a game
