On April 13, 1965, he was traded to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for linebacker Dan Currie. The speedy Dale was a very important contribution for the Packers' historic run of three consecutive NFL championships, which included Super Bowls I and II. He played eight seasons in Green Bay, and after a year with the Minnesota Vikings, he retired from the NFL after the 1973 season, having amassed 438 receptions for 8,277 yards and 52 touchdowns.^[2]

Dale was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1976, Packers Hall of Fame in 1979^[4] and into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987.^[5]

Carroll Dale Stadium, the football stadium of Dale's alma mater, J. J. Kelly High School,was named for him.

Dale currently resides in his birthplace, Wise, where he serves as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Athletic Development at the University of Virginia's College at Wise.
