The 31st edition of Whe're They At features 4-time All-Pro and Pro Bowl Safety, Super Bowl (XXXI) champion & broadcaster, LeRoy Butler. LeRoy emerged from a tough childhood to help spearhead a renaissance with Florida State University's football program in the late-1980's. He went on to excel with the Green Bay Packers for all 12 years of his NFL career as a major contributor to another renaissance as the Packers won Super Bowl XXXI in the 1996 season, and made the big game again the following season. LeRoy is a member of the Packers Hall of Fame and the 1990's NFL All-Decade Team at the Safety position. He was a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020.
