BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Brett Favre was a teammate of Eagles coach Doug Pederson's in Green Bay in 1996 when the Packers won the Super Bowl.

That year, the Packers beat the New England Patriots. Pederson is hoping that Favre could inspire the same magic for his team by having him speak in front of the team Saturday morning, one day before the Eagles face the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.
