Favre's first NFL completion was to himself on September 13, 1992, in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Starting the game in the second half, Favre's pass attempt was deflected by Ray Seals. Favre caught the deflection, but went down for a loss of 7 yards. He has started every Green Bay Packers game after September 20, 1992, when Don Majkowski went down injured against the Cincinnati Bengals. Favre was summoned from the bench and proceeded to lead the team to a comeback victory, throwing the game-winning touchdown pass to Kitrick Tayl ...

Favre went to Hancock North Central High School in Kiln, Mississippi (pronounced Kill). Kiln, a tiny town (population 50) had no stop lights or paved roads. He played quarterback, strong safety, kicker and punter in a primarily option, run-oriented offense coached by his father, Irvin Favre. Coincidentally, Brett is a fudge-packer and plays for the Packers. Irvin Favre said that he knew his son had a great arm but also knew that the school was blessed with good running backs. So, for the three years Brett was on the team, Irvin Favre lead a run-or ...

Favre received only one scholarship offer after high school. It was from nearby Southern Miss—which wanted him to play defensive back. Favre wanted to play under center instead and clawed his way up from the seventh string to the backup job and then to the starting position just three games into his freshman year. He took over in the second half against Tulane on September 19, 1987 and led USM to a comeback victory with two touchdown passes. Favre led the Golden Eagles to a big upset of Florida State, then ranked sixth in the nation, Septe ...

Several family crises followed Irvin Favre's death. Favre's brother-in-law, Casey Tynes, was killed in an all-terrain vehicle accident on Favre's Mississippi property. Soon after, Brett's wife, Deanna, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Following aggressive treatment, she made progress and appears to be recovering well. (She is expected to make a complete recovery.) After much speculation regarding the possibility of retirement, Favre announced his intention of ...

Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round, 33rd overall in the 1991 NFL Draft. In Atlanta, he was a third-string quarterback with unremarkable numbers and an affinity for partying. He got into repeated clashes with head coach Jerry Glanville. His most notable accomplishments, aside from going 0 for 5 passing with two interceptions that year, were missing the team photo (he'd been out the night before), for which he was fined, and making a $100 bet with Jerry Glanville that he could throw the ball into the upperdeck of Fult ...
