The shutout win clinched Green Bay\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/sports\/1993\/12\/27\/packers-28-raiders-0\/b8321ae6-3a7b-4ea7-be38-27f8002787af\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first playoff berth in 11 years<\/a> \u2014 argably 21 but that\u2019s not what made the game so memorable. The true highlight began with a fourth-quarter fumble forced by Butler and recovered by Reggie White. The ball was lateraled back to Butler, who returned it for a touchdown. The Packers were already ahead and the energy inside Lambeau Field was high. That\u2019s when No. 36 decided what needed to be done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know a lot of people say, \u2018Well, act like you\u2019ve been there before,\u2019\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/12051249\/green-bay-packers-reveal-history-lambeau-leap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Butler told ESPN in 2015<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m a defensive guy. I may not ever get back there again. So I was going to make the most of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that, Butler vaulted into the bleachers and a beloved tradition was born. And though he is undoubtedly the father of the Lambeau Leap, Butler isn\u2019t the only name in the story. Wide receiver Robert Brooks is <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Sports\/history-lambeau-leap\/story?id=28090152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">credited with popularizing the celebration<\/a>, being that he played offense and found his way to the end zone a lot more often than Butler did. Also, he made an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Robert-Brooks-Jump-In-The-Stands\/master\/1459725\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exceptionally \u201990s rap song<\/a> about it. \u201cStuck to the wall like Velcro,\u201d indeed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Robert Brooks - Jump In The Stands (HQ CD Rip) [Lyrics in Description]\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pp07cBMzxzQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>Leaping through the years<\/h2>\n<p>Countless Packers have launched themselves into the stands throughout the years. In fact, that\u2019s part of what makes it so great: it involves fans in the celebration. (\u201cYou might take a Miller Lite bath,\u201d Antonio Freeman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/2016\/12\/09\/nfl-green-bay-packers-lambeau-leap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">once told a young Ahman Green<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, beloved grinder Jeff Janis had some tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/2016\/12\/09\/nfl-green-bay-packers-lambeau-leap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to Leap properly<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s like you\u2019re going in for a dunk,\u201d he told <em>Sports Illustrated<\/em>. \u201cYou run toward the wall, and as soon as you think you\u2019re close enough, you gather yourself, turn sideways a little bit and jump and spin in the air. Let your legs hit, sit down and then all the fans grab you.\u201d This should be curriculum for all Wisconsin phys-ed classes.<\/p>\n<p>FWIW, the father of the Leap himself thinks Donald Driver is the best Lambeau Leaper of all time. \u201cHe has like a 40-inch vertical leap,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/12051249\/green-bay-packers-reveal-history-lambeau-leap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Butler said<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019ll jump up there and actually sit on the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There have been imitators over the years, of course. Usually these are trash-talk moves by opposing players. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/philadelphia\/eagles\/dallas-goedert-lambeau-leap-fan-pushed-him-green-bay-packers-philadelphia-eagles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last year<\/a> the Eagles\u2019 Dallas Goedert tried to bite our style in our own house \u2014 not cool, man!
