Brett Favre is a name that is synonymous with football. You can't think of the greats unless you throw Brett Favre in there. Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Brett Favre, Bart Starr, etc. I mean, he's one of the most beloved and toughest quarterbacks in history. And he retired today after playing in 17 seasons of fantastic football.
He was drafted by the Falcons in 1991, and in 1992 he was traded to the Packers for their 17th Round Draft pick...He went on to start in the fourth game of that season, and everyone until his retirement. Favre collected nearly 62,000 passing yards, a 442 TDs, 288 INTs, and a lifetime QB Rating of 85.7. Favre has collected the most MVP Awards (3), he has the most consecutive starts by a quarterback (253, 275 with playoffs), most career passing touchdowns 442, Most Career INTs (288), Most Career passing yards with 61,665 yards, most passing attempts 8,758, and most career games with at least 3 TDs (63)
He was in Two Superbowls, against the Patriots in Superbowl XXXI (which was a win) and against the Broncos in Superbowl XXXII (which was a loss). He is a member of 9 Pro Bowl Teams, and 7 Pro Bowl Teams, and is on the All 90's Team.
Brett Favre will be sorely missed on the football field, even if you're not a Packers fan, you always were interested in watching the man work. He's truly an Iron Man.
