6 things you didn’t know about the 4th biggest trade in NFL history: Brett Favre to the Packers

Brett Favre is a Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion and owns the longest ironman streak in NFL history – a stretch that’s likely to remain unbroken until the end of time. He’s truly one of the best quarterbacks to grace a professional football field, bringing a different style of play to the position – one that was exciting, unpredictable, and sometimes, downright eye-popping.

He made his living with the Packers, of course. However, he wasn’t drafted by Green Bay. It was the Falcons that were fortunate to land him in the second round of the 1991 draft (33rd overall).
