Packers Hall of Famer reveals Parkinson's diagnosis during Congressional hearing

The Green Bay Packers have many franchise icons, but Brett Favre has long held a special place in Titletown lore.

Once the NFL's all-time leading touchdown passer, Favre brought a Super Bowl title to Green Bay in 1997, won three MVP awards, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016.

Since his playing days have ended, Favre has been in the spotlight for his involvement in an array of scandals in his home state of Mississippi. He was summoned to testify in front of Congress on Tuesday, and there, he revealed an unfortunate personal health diagnosis.
