In this edition of Alumni Spotlight, Packers.com Senior Writer Mike Spofford sat down with former Packers center Mike Flanagan. Flanagan talks about his long road to starting, changing positions, highlights the 2003 o-line, and shares his favorite memories with former Packers QB Brett Favre.
Selected by the Packers in the third round of the 1996 draft, Mike Flanagan spent eight seasons (1996-2003) with the club. A stalwart at center, he played in 98 regular-season games, starting 64 of them, and played the entire 2001 season without incurring a holding penalty. A key member of several formidable offensive lines, he was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2003, the first such honor for a Packers center since 1996.
