His powerful arm, remarkable career numbers, and his sheer determination to play through any physical conditions made him a true winner and a legend of the sport. Spending the majority of his career with the Packers, Favre received 11 Pro Bowl selections and won the three consecutive MVP awards, while leading the Packers to victory in Super Bowl XXXI. During that time Favre showed dogged determination and played through many injuries, culminating in a league record 297 consecutive starts. Favre holds numerous league records and set several league firsts. He was the first quarterback to win three consecutive MVP awards. He was also the first quarterback to defeat all 32 NFL teams. What truly sets Favre apart from many others is his outstanding career numbers. Favre is first all time in career yards (71,838), touchdowns (508), pass completions (6,300) and regular season wins (186). Favre previously held numerous other records that have since been surpassed by various other quarterbacks, mostly by Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
