He also holds franchise records for most yards from scrimmage (11,048), 1,000 yard seasons (6), 100-yard games (33) and rushing attempts (1,851).
Ruettgers, a first-round draft pick in 1985, played 12 years for the Packers (1985-96) and was a fixture at left tackle for more than a decade. Ruettgers anchored a line that helped establish a new championship era for the team.
Ruettgers appeared in 156 career games, with 140 starts. He earned team offensive MVP honors in 1989.
