NFL Hall-of-Fame quarterback Bart Starr has donated three of his Green Bay championship rings to the Packers Hall-of-Fame. The rings are for NFL titles from 1961, '65, and '66. Starr said the rings were hanging in his study at home -- and his wife Cherry thought they could be put to better use. Also, Cherry donated a charm necklace that commemorates all five of her husband's NFL titles from the '61, '62, '65, '66, and '67 seasons. Tom Murphy, the archivist for the Packer Hall-of-Fame, said the Starrs' donation was probably the most significant in the hall's history. And more might be on the way. Starr still wears his championship ring from Super Bowl-One. And he reportedly plans to donate it someday, along with a watch for the 1962 league title.
