Brett Favre

Brett Lorenzo Favre (born October 10, 1969 in Gulfport, Mississippi) has been the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers American football team in the National Football League since 1992. Many consider Favre one of the greatest players in the history of the NFL; he is all but guaranteed a spot in the Football Hall of Fame.

A new kind of quarterback

Favre has been admired for his outstanding arm strength and his ability to throw in positions that most other quarterbacks would not think of attempting in a game. He frequently throws off his back foot, on the run, or right before he is hit by a defender. He is also known for his great pocket presence and his knack for avoiding the clutches of defenders.
