About Max McGee

William Max McGee was an American professional football player who was an end and punter for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL) from 1954 to 1967. He is best known for his seven receptions for 138 yards and two touchdowns, scoring the now historic initial touchdown, in the first Super Bowl. McGee was one of the few bright spots on the 1958 team, which finished the season with a league-low 1–10–1 record, the worst in Packers history. McGee played high school football in White Oak, Texas, and was the very first player in American high school football history ever to rush for over 3,000 yards in a single season. After Vince Lombardi took over as head coach in January 1959, McGee may be best known for his performance during the first Super Bowl game.
