Help with early NFL photo ID

This photo belonged to Mike Michalske - but the family does not know the name of the player - he played for the Yankees in 1927 and 1928 and then for the Packers 1929 - 1937, so could be a teammate - any help with the ID?

Might be Roger Grove (Packers 1931-35) ? - https://www.bst-auctions.com/ItemImages ... 2a_lg.jpeg

That is a really good suggestion - I notice the chin looks different but maybe the Walker Cleaners photo was a bit touched up -

The cleft chin, eyes and mouth reminds me of a young Cliff Battles.
