He was also the first NFL quarterback to reach 70,000 passing yards, 10,000 passes, 6,000 completions, and 500 touchdowns. He also beat all 32 NFL teams during his career.
He played college football for the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles. The Atlanta Falcons drafted him in 1991. After one season, he was traded to the Packers. He quickly became their starting quarterback in 1992. Favre helped the Packers become a winning team again.
During his 16 seasons with Green Bay, he led them to 11 playoff appearances. They won seven division titles and played in four NFC Championship Games. He led them to two Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XXXI in 1997. This was the team's first championship in almost 30 years.

When he retired, Favre held NFL records for passing yards, passing touchdowns, and quarterback wins. He also holds the record for most interceptions thrown. He was named Most Valuable Player three times in a row (1995–1997). He was also selected for the Pro Bowl 11 times. Favre was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.
Early Life and High School Football
Brett Favre was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, on October 10, 1969. He grew up in the small town of Kiln. His parents, Bonita and Irvin, were both schoolteachers. Brett has some French and Choctaw Native American heritage.
He was the second of four children. Brett went to Hancock North Central High School. There, he played baseball and football. He was a strong baseball player from eighth grade. In football, he played many positions. His father, Irvin Favre, was the head coach.
Brett played quarterback, but his father's team mostly ran the ball. Brett rarely threw more than five passes in a game. However, a coach from Southern Mississippi, Mark McHale, saw him throw. McHale was amazed by Brett's arm strength. He said the ball "had smoke and flames coming off it." This led to Brett getting a college scholarship.
College Career at Southern Miss
Southern Mississippi offered Favre his only football scholarship. They wanted him to play defensive back, but Favre insisted on playing quarterback. He started his freshman year as the seventh-string quarterback. But he became the starter in the third game of the season.
Favre led the Golden Eagles to a comeback win in that game. He threw two touchdown passes. He started ten games his freshman year and won six of them. In his junior year, Favre led his team to an upset victory over #6 Florida State. He threw the game-winning touchdown pass with only 23 seconds left.
A serious car accident happened on July 14, 1990, before his senior year. Favre lost control of his car, and it flipped three times. Doctors had to remove part of his small intestine. Just eight weeks later, Favre led Southern Miss to another comeback win against Alabama. The Alabama coach, Gene Stallings, called it a "miracle."
Favre held many Southern Miss football records for a long time. He had 15 games with over 200 passing yards. Five of those were 300-yard games, which was a school record. He also led the team in total passing and total offense for all four of his seasons. Favre earned a teaching degree in special education.

Professional Career
Atlanta Falcons (1991)
The Atlanta Falcons drafted Favre in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft. He signed a three-year contract. Atlanta's coach, Jerry Glanville, didn't want Favre.

Green Bay Packers (1992–2007)
On February 11, 1992, the Green Bay Packers traded for Favre. Their general manager, Ron Wolf, really wanted him. Doctors found a hip condition that could end his career. But Wolf ignored the doctors and completed the trade.
Favre played 16 seasons for the Packers. He was the first and only NFL player to win three straight MVP awards. He led the Packers to two Super Bowls. They won Super Bowl XXXI and lost Super Bowl XXXII. Favre started every Packers game from September 20, 1992, to January 20, 2008. This was a streak of 253 games. His streak continued after he left the Packers, reaching 297 regular season games. This is still the NFL record for consecutive starts.
Starting Strong (1992–1994)
In his second game as a Packer in 1992, Favre came in at halftime. The team was losing 17–0. He struggled at first, but then led a game-winning drive.

He threw four touchdowns in the first half and 399 total yards. The Packers won 41–7. Favre said he knew his dad would want him to play.
In 2004, Favre's brother-in-law died in an accident. Soon after, his wife, Deanna, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She recovered after treatment. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed his family's home in Mississippi. Despite these difficulties, Favre continued to play.
