A certain first-ballot Hall
of Famer, Brett Favre in
2007 completed his 16th
and final season in his adopted city of Green Bay with
one of the most memorable years in his storied career…
Among the most exciting players in pro football annals
ever to line up at quarterback, Favre, with 17 NFL seasons
to his credit, stands as one of the game’s most productive
signal callers…In announcing his retirement in a formal
press conference at Lambeau Field on March 6, 2008,
Favre said, “I’ve given everything I possibly can give to
this organization, to the game of football, and I don’t
think I’ve got anything left to give, and that’s it,” and
his accomplishments certainly bear that out…He leaves
as the league’s all-time leader in virtually every significant passing category – touchdowns (442), completions
(5,377), attempts (8,758) and yards (61,655), all previously held by the prolific Dan Marino…With 160 victories
as quarterback, ranks first all-time, having surpassed
John Elway (148) last in 2007…Celebrated even more
than his prodigious numbers is his legendary durability…
Upon taking over the reins as the Green and Gold’s signal
caller Sept. 20, 1992, started the ensuing 253 contests
(275 including playoffs), a record for NFL quarterbacks
and, astoundingly, the second-longest recorded streak
in league annals…During 16 campaigns under center for
Green Bay, led Packers to 11 postseason appearances,
including seven division crowns, four NFC Championship
Games, two Super Bowls and a World Championship
with a victory in Super Bowl XXXI…The former Southern
Mississippi leader’s success has been partially attributed
to a commanding knowledge of his offense, astute observation of countless defenses designed to stop him and
physical ability – especially renowned arm strength…But
his legacy transcends the passes, the touchdowns and the
statistics: the inspiring leader will go down as one of the
most beloved players of his generation…The swashbuckling Southerner embodies the heart of America’s favorite
game…Stands as one of the most respected players
among his peers and coaches, as well.

2007 REVIEW
uIn 2007, Favre extended a
handful of league records
including road passing yards
(31,462), overall and consecutive seasons with at least
3,000 passing yards (16) and
single-stadium TD passes (Lambeau Field, 209).
uIn early December, Favre was named Sports Illustrated
Sportsman of the Year, the fourth NFL player to win the honor.
Terry Bradshaw (1979, with Willie Stargell), Joe Montana
(1990) and Tom Brady (2005) were the others.
uWhat made Favre’s final season so memorable – in addition
to obtaining every major NFL passing record – was the level
at which he played. He turned in one of the finest statistical
seasons of his career in leading the Packers to another division
crown and an appearance in the NFC Championship. A look at
where some of his ’07 numbers rank over his career:
DRAFT &
FREE AGENTS
Favre, in his 17th and final NFL season, took aim at many of the
game's most hallowed records...
uPlayed in and started all 16 regular-season contests, plus both
playoff games. Favre ended his career having played in 255
straight games (277 including playoffs) and started 253 in a
row (275 including playoffs), the NFL’s record among quarterbacks and the second-longest recorded streak in NFL history.
Only Jim Marshall (270, 1961-79) has been documented to
have started more in consecutive fashion.
uIn Week 2, Favre notched his 149th victory under center, surpassing John Elway’s NFL record (148). He finished his career
with 160 wins.
uWith his 421st touchdown pass in Week 4 at Minnesota, Favre
broke Dan Marino’s NFL record, 420. The NFL record now
stands at 442 career TD passes.
uFavre broke another NFL record held by Marino, 61,361 career
passing yards, in Week 15 at St. Louis. Favre now stands atop
the list with 61,655 career yards.
uFavre became the all-time leader in pass attempts with 8,758.
He became the league’s all-time leader in completions in 2006,
extending the mark in his final season to 5,377.
uHis three touchdown passes at Detroit in Week 12 marked the
63rd game of his career with at least three TD passes, surpassing Marino’s NFL record (62).

COACHES
FINISHED AS A PACKER
Finished his career in Green Bay after signing a “lifetime”
contract on March 1, 2001…Then-head coach Mike
Sherman, calling the signing day “historic,” commented
on the uniqueness of Favre’s relationship with the Packers’
organization and fans, saying, “No player in the NFL
identifies, or is more closely linked to, a specific team
like Brett Favre is to the Green Bay Packers. He embodies
the spirit and character of Packer fans everywhere. I do
not think there is a player in the NFL that experiences a
relationship with the fans like Brett Favre does. That is
very, very special.”…Favre echoed the sentiment, saying,
“I enjoy it here. I don’t want to move. I enjoy the fans and
I just want to stay. I couldn’t envision myself playing for
another team.”
A WINNER
Throughout his career, disdained talk of statistics, concerning himself most with his team’s victories…And in
2007, asserted himself as the NFL’s winningest quarterback ever, surpassing all-time leader Elway with his
149th victory in Week 2 at the New York Giants; went
on to win 11 more to give him 160 in his career…From
1992-2004, won at least eight games an NFL-record
13 consecutive seasons, substantially better than the
next closest player, Ken Stabler, who had eight straight
.500-or-better seasons from 1973-80…Rebounding in
2006 and ’07, finished without a losing record in 15 of
his 16 years as the Packers’ starter, having entered the
season’s final weekend in playoff contention for all but one
campaign…Also led the Packers to an NFL-best 160-93
record since taking over as the starter in the fourth week
of the 1992 season…His record as a leader consists of 11
playoff berths, including a club-record six in a row (199398), three straight NFC Central Division crowns (1995-97),
four NFC North Division titles, including three in a row
(2002-04, ’07), four NFC Championship games, also
including three straight (1995-97, ’07), and back-to-back
Super Bowl appearances, including a 35-21 victory over
New England in Super Bowl XXXI, returning the Lombardi
Trophy to Green Bay for the first time in 29 years…Upon
defeating Chicago in December of 2000, became the thirdfastest player in the NFL since 1970 to reach 100 regularseason victories, doing so in his 153rd career start; only
Joe Montana (139) and Terry Bradshaw (147) got to the
century mark quicker over the
past 37 seasons…Since his
first year as a starter in 1992,
held a 49-18 record (.731)
in regular-season games in
December, the fourth-best
mark among NFL starters
COMMUNITY
AMONG ALL-TIME GREATS
Long considered one of the NFL’s best ever, ranks at the
top of a number of the league’s all-time lists…Over the
course of 2007, established five NFL records, surpassing
Marino’s marks for touchdowns, attempts and yards,
plus his record for three-touchdown games with his 63rd
three-TD effort (Marino had 62)…Also eclipsed Elway’s
mark for victories under center…Extended a handful of
other all-time marks, including career completions, seasons with at least 300 completions (16) and 3,000 yards
passing (16), and TD passes in a single stadium (209
at Lambeau Field)…Is one of only three quarterbacks in
league history to post as many as five 4,000-yard seasons
(also doing so in 1995, ‘98, ’99, and 2004); Marino (6) and
Manning (8) are the others…With seven 300-yard passing
performances in 2007, tying his career-high (1995), had
55 such career outings – tops among active NFL players
through 2007…Is the NFL’s most accurate passer among
those with at least 6,000 career attempts, his 61.4 career
completion percentage placing him ahead of No. 2 Marino
(59.4 percent)…Solidified his standing among the game’s
all-time elite by earning the NFL’s ‘MVP’ honor a record
three times, capturing the Associated Press award over
the 1995, 1996 and 1997 seasons; he was runner-up in
2002 and 2007 as well…Honored in “co-status” with
the Detroit Lions’ Barry Sanders in 1997, he became the
first player in league history to win the award three times,
let alone in three consecutive years…Incomparability of
the strong-armed Southerner is further evidenced by his
selection in 2000 to the 1990s NFL All-Decade second
team as voted by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection
Committee…Also ranked as the ninth-best player in ‘NFL
Player of the Century’ voting, conducted on nfl.com during the 1999 season…Collaborated with former Packers
wide receiver Antonio Freeman for 57 touchdown passes
from 1995-2001, the sixth-best such duo in NFL history…
With it being impossible for someone to better it, will be
the permanent possessor of at least one all-time NFL
record – that for longest pass completion – as he hooked
up with wideout Robert Brooks for a 99-yard score in
a 1995 game at Chicago…In 2003 became part of the
second-longest rush in NFL annals, handing off to Ahman
Green on a play that resulted in a 98-yard TD, vs. Denver
in the season finale.

career TD passes against both the Vikings and the Lions,
tied for the second-highest total (with Marino’s 54 against
the Colts) by a QB against a single opponent, with his 53

at Carolina (Sept. 27). Despite uncorking an interception
deep in Green Bay territory on his first attempt vs. the
Panthers, he rebounded to equal his career high (and the
team record) with five touchdown passes while throwing
for a season-best 388 yards (then the fourth-highest total
of his pro career), earning national Miller Lite ‘Player of
the Week’ honors in the process…After two sub-Favre-like
outings, bounced back with a strong performance in leading the Packers to 28-10 win vs. Baltimore (Oct. 25), when
he accounted for three touchdowns – two passing and one
rushing (his 11th rushing TD as a pro)…Demonstrated
the ability to make the big play in victory vs. San Francisco
(Nov. 1), when he connected on touchdown passes of 80,
30 and 62 yards in leading Green Bay to a 36-22 triumph.
His 62-yard strike to Freeman early in the fourth quarter
broke a 22-22 tie, a completion which also made Favre
the club’s all-time leader in passing yardage…Had the
second-best completion percentage of his career (79.5)
on 31-of-39 passing for 303 yards and two touchdowns in
rematch at Minnesota (Nov. 22)…Had another outstanding performance, this time vs. Tennessee (Dec. 20), when
he threw for three touchdowns (all in the first half to
Freeman) and posted a season-best 142.6 passer rating.
Also rushed for a season-high 49 yards against the thenOilers, including a 35-yard run – the third-longest carry of
his pro career…1998 PLAYOFFS: Extending his club
record by throwing a touchdown pass in a 10th consecutive postseason game, engineered a masterful, 89-yard
drive to mount a Green Bay lead for a final time (27-23)
in its NFC Wild Card playoff game against the 49ers at
San Francisco’s 3Com Park (Jan. 3); found his split end,
Freeman, with a 15-yard strike for the go-ahead score with
1:56 remaining. The 49ers, unfortunately, subsequently
superseded his heroics, responding with a climactic drive
of their own to score with three seconds remaining to pull
out a 30-27 victory. Favre had closed out a strong performance by completing 20 of 35 passes for 292 yards and

Drove Green Bay 82 yards to the winning score in 1:40 vs.
Oakland (Sept. 12), finishing his emotional, opening-day

Thomason with 11 seconds remaining in 28-24 triumph.
Completed 28 of 47 passes for 333 yards and a seasonbest four touchdowns, with three interceptions, in Raiders

Vs. Minnesota (Sept. 26), faced with fourth-and-1, no
timeouts remaining and the clock ticking away the last
half-minute, threw unbelievable, 23-yard touchdown pass
to wideout Corey Bradford with 12 seconds left, wrapping

yards (on seven plays) in 1:44 on the final drive. Completed
61.5 percent of his passes (24 of 39) vs. the Vikings for
304 yards and one TD, without an interception…On the
night of his 30th birthday and before a national television
audience, he orchestrated his third come-from-behind
win in four games, driving his team 73 yards in just 40
seconds to defeat Tampa Bay (Oct. 10). Operating in the
face of an all-out blitz, he threw a looping, 21-yard TD pass

Green Bay its final, 26-23 margin of victory. Posted 105.2

ing for 202 yards and two TDs, while rushing for 39 net
yards, including a career-best 40-yard run…Triggered
a valiant comeback attempt at Dallas (Oct. 8), when he
rushed for a career-high two TDs and threw for another
score to rally the Packers from a 21-point, second-half
deficit to within seven at 31-24 with 8:13 remaining in
the game…Earned his first-ever NFC ‘Offensive Player
of the Week’ honor with an outstanding performance in
initial game vs. Minnesota (Oct. 22), tying a then-career
high with four touchdown passes in leading the Packers
to a 38-21 win. Completed 22 of 43 passes for 295 yards
without an interception against the Vikings…Saluted as
NFL’s recipient of the ‘Extra Effort Award’ for the month of
October…Had suffered a severely sprained left ankle late
in second quarter of rematch at Minnesota (Nov. 5) – an
injury which later would require offseason surgery (Feb.
27, 1996) to remove several bone chips and one large
spur. Left Vikings game for the remainder of the first
half, then played three series in the second half before
the injury hindered his play and he gave way to Detmer…
Had arguably his best performance as a professional the
following week in a rematch vs. Chicago (Nov. 12) when,
not knowing until late in the week if he was even going
to play due to the severely sprained ankle, he threw for a
career-high and team-record tying five touchdown passes
to lead the Packers to a key 35-28 victory over the Bears.
Subsequently was named NFC ‘Offensive Player of the
Week’ (for the second time in four weeks) after completing 25 of 33 passes for 336 yards with no interceptions
against Chicago, giving him a (then) career-high singlegame passer rating of 147.2…Led the Packers to a tough
road win at Cleveland (Nov. 19) when, despite still being
limited with an ankle injury, he passed for three touchdowns and ran for another. Completed 23 of 28 passes
for 210 yards against the Browns for a career-best 82.1
completion percentage…Threw four TD passes – all in the
first half – in the Packers’ 34-23 win at New Orleans (Dec.
16), completing 21 of 38 passes for 308 yards against the
Saints…Turned in gutty performance in leading Packers
to their division-clinching, 24-19 victory vs. Pittsburgh
(Dec. 24) when, despite having to stop twice during the
game after getting the wind knocked out of him, he threw
for 301 yards and two touchdowns. On one sequence, he
was hit hard by three Steeler defenders while scrambling
on a play; the Packers called a timeout and Favre, who
coughed up blood on the sidelines during a break in the
action, returned to throw a 1-yard scoring pass to Chmura
on the following play…Named NFC ‘Offensive Player of
the Month’ for December, passing for 1,233 yards on
102 completions in 151 attempts with 10 TDs and only
two INTs (109.0 passer rating) in directing Green Bay to
three victories during the month…1995 PLAYOFFS:
Utilizing no fewer than nine receivers, completed 24 of 35
passes for 199 yards and three touchdowns in leading the
Packers to a 37-20 NFC Wild Card victory over Atlanta in
Lambeau Field (Dec. 31), presiding over scoring drives of
85, 78 and 70 yards and throwing for three touchdowns
in the process…Was even more precise in a Divisional
playoff at San Francisco (Jan. 6), hitting on 21 of 28
passes (for a then-team-postseason-record completion
percentage of 75.0) for 299 yards and two TDs – with
no interceptions – in directing the Packers to a 27-17
triumph over the favored 49ers, the defending Super Bowl
champions…Named NFL ‘Offensive Player of the Week’
for his performance vs. the Niners…Completed 21 of
39 attempts for 307 yards and three touchdowns, with
two INTs, in the NFC Championship Game at Dallas (Jan.
14), the Packers’ first such appearance since 1967, but it
wasn’t sufficient to carry the day, the Cowboys eventually
prevailing, 38-27.
1994
Finished second in the NFL (behind only Steve
Young of San Francisco’s Super Bowl champion 49ers) with a passer rating of 90.7…Ranked third
in the NFC in passing yards with 3,882…In the process,
became only the second player in team history to throw
for 3,000 yards in three different seasons…Also posted
third-lowest interception percentage (2.4) in the NFC
among qualifying passers…Ended season second in the
NFL with 33 TD passes, which also represented a Green
Bay record at the time, surpassing the 32 of Dickey in
1983…Set two other club records, his 363 completions
eclipsing the previous mark of 353 by Majkowski in 1989,
and closing out the season with a 3.24 career interception
percentage, bettering Majkowski’s 3.48 career mark…
Was particularly effective over the last half of the season,
throwing for 23 touchdowns over the last eight games and
only seven interceptions over the final nine games (his
14 interceptions overall were 10 fewer than he threw in
1993)…Named second-team All-Pro by Football Digest…
Produced probably the Packers’ biggest play of the year
in the second-to-last game of the regular season. With
Green Bay needing a victory to keep its playoff hopes alive,
he engineered a come-from-behind, 67-yard drive in the
final 1:58 vs. Atlanta (Dec. 18), capping the march with
his diving, 9-yard TD run into the right corner of the end
zone with only 14 seconds remaining in the game to give
the Packers a 21-17 win. Completed 6 of 9 passes for 58
yards in that eleventh-hour excursion and 29 of 44 passes
for 321 yards and two TDs overall against the Falcons in
the Packers’ final game at Milwaukee County Stadium…
Led Packers to a 34-19, playoff-clinching victory at Tampa
Bay a week later (Dec. 24), completing 24 of 36 passes
for 291 yards and three TDs (all to Sterling Sharpe)…
Earlier, played one of the finest games of his early career
in 30-3 win vs. Tampa Bay (Sept. 25), earning Miller Lite
‘NFL Player of the Week’ honors as he completed 30 of 39
passes for 306 yards and three TDs, with no INTs…Had
thrown a touchdown pass in nine straight games – the
final three regular-season contests of ‘93 plus the first six
games of ‘94 – until the streak was broken at Minnesota
(Oct. 20) when he left the game after the first quarter with
a severely bruised left hip…It was the first time since he
became the starting quarterback early in 1992 that he
had been forced to leave due to injury…Closed the year
by throwing for at least one score over the season’s final
Favre in the postseason

Started all 16 games – one of only seven
NFL quarterbacks to do so…Became the most
accurate career passer in Packers history, supplanting the
legendary Starr…Finished the year eighth in the NFC with
a 72.2 passer rating, completing 318 of 522 passes (60.9
percent) for 3,303 yards and 19 TDs, with 24 INTs…Was
first among all NFC passers (second in NFL) with 318
completions and his 19 TDs ranked third in the conference
(fifth in the NFL)…His 3,303 passing yards were second
in the NFC to Young (sixth in the NFL)…Played in the Pro
Bowl as a reserve when the Giants’ Phil Simms could not
take part due to a shoulder problem…Completed 20 of 35
passes for 268 yards and a season-high four touchdowns
(all of the latter to Sharpe) at Tampa Bay (Oct. 24), escorting Packers to 37-14 win…Led Packers to 19-17, comefrom-behind victory over the Saints in New Orleans (Nov.
14). Came up with the biggest play of the season to that
point when, on a second-and-20 play from the Packers’
27-yard line with 52 seconds left and the Packers down
17-16, he rolled out of the pocket to his left and hit Sharpe
with a 54-yard strike that led to a game-winning field goal;
closed out day with 18 completions in 32 attempts for 150
yards and one TD…Led Packers to a comeback, 13-10 win
vs. Tampa Bay (Nov. 28) when he engineered a 15-play,
75-yard scoring drive late in the fourth quarter, capping it
with a 2-yard TD pass to Sharpe with 1:16 left to produce
the victory. On the play previous to his scoring strike to
Sharpe he had suffered a deep thigh bruise on a 1-yard
rollout to the right sideline, but, even though he was limping noticeably, threw the game-winner on the next play…
Set a Green Bay single-game record with 36 completions,
at Chicago (Dec. 5), breaking the previous record of 35 set
by Dickey in 1980. Also threw for a career-high 402 yards
vs. Bears – the third most in team history (behind Dickey’s
418 vs. Tampa Bay in 1980 and Don Horn’s 410 vs. the
Cardinals in 1969)…It also represented the first 300- and
400-yard passing games of Favre’s career…Turned in
solid outing vs. Raiders (Dec. 26) in minus-22-degree
wind chill, passing for 190 yards and one TD (a 23-yarder
to Sharpe in the third quarter) on 14 completions in 28
attempts, with no INTs…1993 PLAYOFFS: Pulled off
one of the most spectacular plays in team history in NFC
Wild Card playoff at Detroit (Jan. 8). With the Packers
trailing 24-21 in the final minute, he scrambled out of
the pocket to his left, found an “unguarded” Sharpe in
the open and unleashed an across-the-body throw from
extreme left to extreme right; Sharpe ran under the ball
in the end zone with 55 seconds left and the Packers
shortly became 28-24 winners. Had thrown two earlier TD
passes to Sharpe (a 12-yarder in the second quarter and
a 28-yarder in the third period) while completing 15 of 26
passes for 204 yards overall…Threw two more TD passes
in losing effort (27-17) in Divisional playoff at Dallas the

throwing for another in a cold, cyclonic rainstorm. The
first came late in the second quarter, when he rolled out to
his right and raced 36 yards (diving over a Bear defender
into the end zone) to give the Packers a 14-0 lead. Later, in
the fourth quarter, he connected with Edgar Bennett for a

1992
Acquired from Atlanta by then-Packers General
Manager Ron Wolf for a first-round draft selection in an offseason trade (Feb. 10)…Was so impressive
in escorting Green Bay to its second-best record in 20
years (9-7) – soaring from designated backup to Pro
Bowler in just three months’ time – that then-head coach
Holmgren was prompted to observe, “If Brett can stay
healthy, he will be the cornerstone of our football team for
many years to come.”… Beginning the 1992 season as the
understudy to incumbent Majkowski, he was hastily summoned from the bench to replace an injured Majkowski
(ankle) in the first quarter of Game 3 vs. Cincinnati (Sept.
20) and proceeded to take a stranglehold on the QB position, staking an immediate claim by leading the Packers to
an electrifying, come-from-behind, 24-23 victory over the
Bengals, forged by way of a 35-yard scoring pass to wideout Kitrick Taylor with only 13 seconds remaining in the
game…Performing in storybook fashion, he went on to
compile an 8-5 record as a starter and establish two new
Green Bay passing records in the process – single-season
marks for passing percentage (64.12 percent; since
broken in 2003) and most consecutive 200-yard passing
games (11)…Named as the third QB for the NFC Pro Bowl
squad after finishing fifth among conference passers with
an 85.3 overall rating, based on 302 completions in 471
attempts for 3,227 yards and 18 touchdowns with only 13
interceptions…At the time, was the youngest quarterback
ever to play in AFC-NFC Pro Bowl (since 1971) at 23
years, 3 months, 28 days of age…His 302 completions
tied him with Troy Aikman of Super Bowl champion Dallas
for first-place honors in NFC…Also ranked second in the
conference (to Young) with his 64.12 passing percentage,
which broke Starr’s Green Bay single-season record of
63.74, set in 1968…Also became only the fourth Packers
QB to pass for over 3,000 yards in a season…Had a string
of 111 passes without an interception broken at Oilers on
Dec. 13…Did not play vs. Minnesota in regular-season
opener (Sept. 6), but saw action in second-half relief
role the next week at Tampa Bay (Sept. 13), completing
eight of 14 passes for 73 yards…Engineered two TD
drives in last eight minutes of the game to pull out 24-23
victory over Cincinnati (Sept. 20) after relieving injured
Majkowski in opening quarter. Threw for a season-high
289 yards against Bengals on 22-of-39 passing…Made
first NFL start on Sept. 27 vs. Pittsburgh and responded
by completing 14 of 19 passes for 210 yards and two TDs,
including a 76-yarder to Sharpe, with no interceptions…
Staged an inspiring performance vs. Philadelphia (Nov.
15), leading the Packers to a 27-24, come-from-behind
victory despite suffering a first-degree separation of his
left (non-throwing) shoulder early in the game on a hit
from future teammate Reggie White. Completed 23 of 33
for 275 yards and two scores with two interceptions in
upset of Eagles.
1991
Was a second-round draft selection by the
Falcons (33rd overall and third QB, after Dan
McGwire and Todd Marinovich)…Completed 14 of 32
passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns, with one
interception, in the preseason…Active for three games
during the regular season, he played in two (Oct. 27 vs.
L.A. Rams and Nov. 10 at Washington), officially attempting four incomplete passes in Redskins contest…After
the 2004 season, Elias Sports Bureau changed Favre’s
official passing attempts for that Washington game; in
researching Favre’s early career, viewing a tape of the
CBS broadcast, Elias determined that Favre actually threw
four passes in the game (the RFK Stadium press box had
mistakenly credited him with five attempts in hand-written
statistics).
college
Led his Southern Mississippi team to 29
victories, including two bowl triumphs,
during four varsity seasons (1987-90), and climaxed
his collegiate career by earning a ‘Most Valuable Player’
award in the East-West Shrine game featuring the nation’s
best seniors…Set school records for passing yards
(8,193), pass attempts (1,234), completions (656), passing percentage (53.0) and touchdowns (55), with only
35 interceptions…His production included five 300-yard
passing games and five three-TD performances, while his
7,695 regular-season passing yards ranked him among
the top 30 of all-time NCAA passers…His 1.57 interception ratio in 1988 was the lowest among the 50 top-ranked
passers in the nation, and his 2.9 interception rate for his
Chronology of the Packers’
1992 deal for Favre
April 21, 1991 — On Day 1 of the ’91 NFL Draft, the
Philadelphia Eagles strike a deal with Green Bay to move up.
Eyeing Tennessee T Antone Davis, the Eagles ship their ’91
first-round choice (19th overall) to Green Bay for the Packers’
first-rounder (eighth overall). Philadelphia gets Davis, and the
Packers use the Eagles’ No. 19 to snag CB Vinnie Clark from
Ohio State. The Packers’ Tom Braatz and Lindy Infante don’t
consummate the trade until Philadelphia agrees to throw in its
first-round pick in the 1992 draft…
Later, in Round 2, the Falcons select Brett Favre 33rd overall, breaking the hearts of several teams, including the Jets…
Ron Wolf, heading the Jets personnel department, chooses QB
Browning Nagle with the next choice, 34th.
Nov., 1991 — Braatz is relieved on Nov. 20. One week
later, the Packers hire Wolf and give him full control of Green
Bay football operations.
Dec. 1, 1991 — Green Bay’s first game after Wolf’s hiring
is a trip to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. Before a 35-31 loss, in
pregame warmups, Wolf scouts Favre, the player he missed by
one pick in the draft seven months earlier with the Jets.
Feb. 10, 1992 — In his second trade as Packers general
manager, Wolf takes the choice acquired in ’91 from Philadelphia
(17th overall, the Eagles were 10-6 in 1991) and sends it to
Atlanta for Favre…
The Falcons later traded that 17th pick to Dallas for the
Cowboys’ first-round position (19th) and fourth-round choice
(104th) in the same draft; Dallas chose CB Kevin Smith from
Texas A&M with its pick acquired from Atlanta, through Green
Bay; the Falcons chose Favre’s former Southern Mississippi
teammate Tony Smith (RB) at No. 19 and selected CB Frankie
Smith from Baylor at No. 104.
