Davon House never made a Pro Bowl. In fact, the only time he was designated as a starter in Green Bay was in 2017 after Sam Shields went down with injury. But he was a Packer through and through and always seemed to come through when his number was called, especially on special teams – he once was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, in fact.

House, who hails from California, totaled 123 tackles playing for the Packers, also registering a trio of sacks and a trio of interceptions over six seasons, which were spent in two different stints after he spent two years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, as well as 46 passes defensed.

The 2011 fourth-round pick narrowly missed the team’s last Super Bowl season, but House contributed to some memorable Packers teams – perhaps most notably the 2013 team when Aaron Rodgers injured much of the year, and the team relied on Matt Flynn at quarterback for a number of games and the defense did its best to keep the Packers’ playoff hopes alive. During that season, House started all 16 games and racked up 44 total tackles with a sack and an interception.

When he hit unrestricted free agency in 2015, the Jaguars beat Green Bay’s contract offer, and he became a Jaguar for two seasons, notching his best season as a pro that year. But he wasn’t necessarily happy to be leaving.

"I walked off the field with Tramon Williams and I said to myself, 'I'm going to miss this,'" House said in 2017, recalling his final game in Green Bay as a Packer (or so he thought at the time). When the Jaguars let him go, House was all too happy to hear from his old team.

Of course, no reminiscing about Davon House would be complete without recalling his wild story about traveling to minicamp in 2017. Thanks to flight delays, when he arrived in Minneapolis to catch a connecting flight to Green Bay, he discovered he had missed the flight. It was after 11 p.m., and he had to report to the team the next morning at 7:30.

Out of frustration and desperation, House tweeted his plight, asking if any Packers fans around Minnesota would care to give him a ride to Green Bay. Incredibly, a pair of brothers named Chad and Mike Johnson, who both lived in Western Wisconsin, responded to House’s tweet and came to the rescue.

“I'll get you to Green Bay man. In one piece even,” Mike Johnson tweeted back. “I'm a half hour from MSP, would be happy to help.”

So the brothers got together – they both had to work the next morning and wanted to drive in shifts – and picked up House at the airport. They brought a pillow so House could rest in the back seat, and they finally arrived at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport at around 3:30 a.m.

However, their journey wasn’t quite over – House not only insisted on paying for their gas, he took the Johnsons on a tour of the Packers locker room, signed various pieces of equipment for them as a thank you, and took them to see the four Super Bowl trophies on display at Lambeau Field.

"It would've been cool just to get a picture with him there, but he was like, 'Follow me to the stadium and I'll sign some stuff for you,'" Chad Johnson told ESPN.

"He talked about how much he loves Green Bay and didn't really care for it in Jacksonville," Chad Johnson added.

"It tells you about his commitment -- both from our fans and Davon," then-Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said the next day. "It's important, especially when it's an install day. You never want to miss an install day because you get it going with everyone and the adjustments, and this is the time of year when you can slow things down and teach it in a progression. I think Davon obviously showed the importance of being here."

House ultimately retired as a Packer.

"There's only a handful of teams where I would catch a ride and I'd feel very, very comfortable and Green Bay is for sure No. 1 on that list," House said in 2020. "When I came to Green Bay, I didn't really know what to expect besides playing professional football. Everyone has always said the fans are the greatest fans ever. Getting here, I was like, 'Oh my goodness, I see why.’”
