He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1966 and the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1972.

He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison for one year before transferring to Regis College. He retired in 1940, but returned four years later to a draft-depleted NFL in 1944, finishing his career with the New York Giants.

Early years[]

Herber was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin and was a Green Bay Packers fan from a young age, all while starring at local West High School in football and basketball. After attending college for a few years to no notoriety, Herber came back to Green Bay and worked in the club house as a handyman. Coach Curly Lambeau gave Herber a try-out and Herber joined the team after Green Bay's first NFL Championship in 1929.

The player who went from the Regis backfield to gridiron greatness

There probably aren’t a lot of people around who remember that Regis once had a football team, and a pretty decent one at that. Fewer still would know that one of the guys who patrolled the Ranger gridiron is now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That guy’s name was Arnie Herber.

Herber made his mark in one memorable season at Regis — 1929. From there, he went on to play 13 years with the Green Bay Packers, where he won championships and set passing records (mostly passing from the halfback position) that lasted a decade. He was named to All-Pro teams as a passer and a punter and then, when World War II depleted football ranks, came out of retirement to call signals for the New York Giants for another two years. In 1966, more than 35 years after he put on a Rangers uniform, and nearly three decades after Regis’ last football team hung up their cleats, Herber was part of the fourth class inducted into the Hall of Fame.
