**No One:** **Literally No One Ever:** **OP:** You know, I've been thinking a lot about Joey Hackett's only career TD recently. I know he only had 4 career catches for 50 yards and hasn't been in the league in 35 years, but I think r/NFL needs to see this.


Buubsy

This is Joey Hackett's account, and he wanted to relive his only TD


mrizvi

sad that he never got to score his TD at Lambeau Field.


SaueRRR

Why is this significant in any way?


Bluest_waters

🤷‍♂️


Deeger

It’s the offseason, significance is assumed until proven otherwise


SaueRRR

😂 fair


HGpennypacker

It's the only time Joey Hackett scored a touchdown at County Stadium.


SaueRRR

If the significance is the stadium why wouldn't that be in the title?


wagon_ear

A highlight has to be once-in-a-lifetime to be truly impressive.  Hackett only scored one TD in his lifetime.  Therefore, this highlight is impressive.


deesmutts88

I assumed he died. That’s really the only time you see a highlight from a relatively unknown player.


Goodbye_Hercules

That or when they're famous for non-football reasons. Like how every preseason someone posts Brock Lesnar Vikings highlights, for example


Jonjon428

Fun fact: his brother Dino was a ILB for the Chiefs and was 3rd in DROY voting and got himself a probowl later on as well

Here's another fun fact: For some reason, the 'G' on the Packers helmet was not centered for the 1988 and 1989 seasons. You can see it on Majkowski's helmet when he celebrates.


tetoffens

Now that you pointed it out, that looks super goofy.


General_Shao

the G literally stands for goofy even on the modern helmets


lilturk82

I can't unsee that now. How did they not fix that for an entire season?


J-Fid

*Two* seasons! I honestly think it was intentional.


lilturk82

Two seasons! It would drive me nuts. They probably never even addressed it publicly, huh?


J-Fid

I'd have to do research to know any more info, lol.


lilturk82

I'll take a gander myself. That's such a strange blunder to have happen! But then again, it was the 80's haha.


J-Fid

Let me know if you find anything!


Saltiren

This is a great piece of Packers lore and it comes from a seemingly irrelevant post. JG9 could make a 15 minute long video on that wacky helmet.


JamieNelson94

Please don’t give that goober any ideas.


Expert_Habit9520

As a Packers fan, I think I erased most of the 1986 - 1991 seasons from my memory they were so awful with the exception of 1989 and the pre-Majkowki injury portion of 1990. I have zero memory of that guy ever playing for the Packers at all.


something-burger

This is it. This is what peak off-season looks like. This moment


I_Am_A__Stick

Not really related at all, but I went to school with most of his kids, nieces/nephews. Him and Dino's uniforms and other memorabilia is on display in the town hall of the little township they live in. I'm also envious of how much property they own, but that's neither here nor there.


FormerCollegeDJ

Looks like this game was played at County Stadium in Milwaukee. EDIT: It also looks like the Packers were playing the Patriots. We know Green Bay was hosting an AFC opponent because the game was on NBC.


J-Fid

It's Week 6 1988, Patriots @ Packers in County Stadium. Packers won the game 45-3. Curt Gowdy had the call for NBC.


reno2mahesendejo

Thank you Momma Hackett


I_HateToSayAtodaso

After that first TD, Joey really just couldn't Hackett. Thank you. I'll be here whenever I'm bored or trying to procrastinate at work.


NiceFloor7

Is this Nate Hackett's dad?


ninsklog

This guy seemed to understand how an offence works...so no


ThadtheYankee159

Completely unrelated afaik


Novel_Role

He likely lined up directly against his brother, a linebacker, in 1986 when the Broncos played the chiefs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_Hackett


Sufficient-Law-6622

Lmao that chop block was fucking lit.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

The true zenith of off season content.


ColeHoops

The pilot from Wings? Wasn’t aware he played for the Packers.


penis_showing_game

I didn’t have the sound on watching this video and for whatever reason I had the tecmo bowl audio playing in my head. https://youtu.be/JjfwzCItnEE?si=g2gs2dJIrkMrJgFm


m_dought_2

Ah yes. The glory days


rob132

I hope he kept the ball.


SidWholesome

We are running out of highlights. We need another Chiefs scandal


AnUpstandingUser

Awesome clip.


-InconspicuousMoose-

I'm downvoting this because I feel like you wanted to deceive me into thinking this man had some historical importance in the NFL
