A fumble recovery celebration turned tradition
In the montage most players doing the Lambeau Leap are offensive players but of you may have noticed the man behind Packers famous tradition was himself a defender so however was a defender himself. Butler is safety and did the Lambeau leap after scoring the touch down after recovering a fumble and a defender’s iconic celebration is now emulated by some of the best offensive players in the NFL.
But Let’s not forget that inventing the Lambeau leap is not what got Butler into the Hall of Fame but his work as one of the best Pacler defendor did.
