GREEN BAY – For all the drama in his career, there was no drama with this one.
As expected from the moment he retired five years ago, former Packers quarterback Brett Favre was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2016 inductees on Saturday.
“It is an incredible honor,” Favre said. “I always loved playing the game of football and never dreamed that it would have resulted in all of this. I just went out there and had fun because that’s what football is to me.”
In addition to Favre, the Hall's Class of 2016 also includes WR Marvin Harrison, OT Orlando Pace, LB/DE Kevin Greene, coach Tony Dungy, owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr.
