LeRoy Butler is an American former professional football player who spent his entire twelve-year career, from 1990 to 2001, as a safety for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. Born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1968, he wore leg braces and sometimes used a wheelchair as a child, yet became a standout at Robert E. Lee High School and then a three-year starter at Florida State University. The Packers drafted him in the second round in 1990. He was a four-time first-team All-Pro, was named to the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team, recorded a sack in the Packers' victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI, and is credited with creating the Lambeau Leap touchdown celebration. He was enshrined in the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022.
