QB Brett Favre (1992-2007)

A true gunslinger and Green Bay legend, there was no question of Brett Favre’s worthiness for inclusion in the Packers’ all-time Mount Rushmore. Favre, football’s unquestioned iron man, developed into a legend after he took over for the injured Don Majkowski in 1992.

Packers’ GM Ron Wolf and head coach Mike Holmgren believed in Favre’s talent and helped mold him into a champion. Favre became the best quarterback in the NFL, winning three consecutive MVP awards from 1995-1997, a stretch that saw him go to two Super Bowls and win one.

Favre was an iconic passer best known for his consecutive starts streak, which began the week after he replaced Majkowski and lasted until 2010, when he was a member of the Minnesota Vikings. We won’t revisit that unfortunate part of Favre’s legacy, but he will forever be known for his time in Green Bay.

Favre went on to set the NFL’s all-time record for passing yards and touchdown passes, marks that have been both passed since his retirement. The Packers retired Favre’s no. 4 in 2015 in a ceremony at Lambeau Field that marked a new start in his relationship with the franchise that made him famous.
