- "No one can change the part of me that attempts plays some quarterbacks shouldn't even attempt," remarked Brett Favre on his reputation for taking risks. Such a "go-for-broke" attitude has helped propel Favre into the elite ranks of all-time-great NFL quarterbacks. An eight-time Pro Bowler who broke into the league from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1991, the Green Bay Packers quarterback currently ranks third in career passing yards and second in career touchdowns. He is the only NFL player to win the league's MVP award for three consecutive years. Yet like former Green Bay great Bart Starr, it is his toughness that sets him apart. Despite being relatively slow of foot, Favre has made more consecutive starts at the quarterback position than any player in NFL history.
