Brett Favre: ‘Three of the greatest receivers I played with played at South Carolina’

During his 20-year NFL career, Brett Favre threw passes to more than a few different wide receivers. And of the ones he thought were the best, three of them played at South Carolina.

While speaking at Will Muschamp’s coaches clinic Friday night in Columbia, South Carolina, Favre praised former Gamecocks receivers Sterling Sharpe, Robert Brooks and Sidney Rice at their alma mater.

“Three of the greatest receivers I’ve ever played are from right here: Sterling Sharpe, Robert Brooks, and Sidney Rice,” Favre said, according to the official South Carolina football Twitter account.
