A few years later, he was drafted into the Packers, which was where his story really begun. His 16-year career with the Packers was widely celebrated. As well as winning the Super Bowl, he reached many individual milestones and broke records, such as the most passing yards and touchdown passes in 1998 and 2003.

Since retiring in 2010, Favre has used his expertise to go into football coaching, leading Oak Grove High School to its first Mississippi state title.
