The Green Bay Packers have been famous for years for their celebration of the 'Lambeau Leap,' where players leap into the stands to celebrate with the fans.

The first 'Lambeau Leap" occurred on December 26, 1993, when Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler scored a touchdown after taking a lateral from defensive lineman Reggie White and jumped into the stands at Lambeau Field to celebrate with the fans.

That moment helped the Packers clinch a playoff spot and kicked off a tradition that continues to this day.
