Brett Favre is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks to step on a football field. He played 20 years in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, and Minnesota Vikings. Favre is most known for his time with the Packers from 1992-2007.

On Saturday night, the Southern Miss alumnus was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the 2016 class. His accomplishments were celebrated, which was well-deserving given all he did for the sport. Others inducted included greats from the sport’s industry like Orlando Pace, Marvin Harrison, and Tony Dungy.

Favre’s speech closed the evening in Canton, OH. He delivered a fantastic one, most notably honoring his late father and how he pushed him throughout his football career. This led to Favre getting emotional and crying. Other topics discussed included praising Packers executives, Reggie White, and Steve Mariucci, who was the quarterbacks coach for Green Bay from 1992-96.

Favre also said he will “always be remembered as a Packer”, and does not regret anything from his NFL career.

This was a lengthy and loaded speech by the Super Bowl XXXI champion. This was the one football fans had been anticipating, as quarterbacks like Brett Favre aren’t seen in the NFL often. He was a polarizing figure that dominated the sport, and in the media—even if it was negative from all the “will he or won’t he” retire talk, that lasted for years.

Brett Favre will be remembered as an all-time great in the NFL. His spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is well-deserved, as he joins quarterbacks like Joe Montana, Dan Marino, and Roger Staubach, among others.
