Pigskin Champions is a 1937 sports short subject documentary directed by Charles G. Clarke. Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it was a part of the "Pete Smith Specialties" series.

It featured the then-World Champion Green Bay Packers in an exhibition of football skills. There is an amazing clip of Arnie Herber breaking a pane of glass mounted on the field goal posts, throwing from midfield. A number of players punt the ball into the coffin corner from a good distance. There are great shots of Curly, Don Hutson and others.
