After a weekend off for a trip to Tennessee (not related to this Thursday’s game against the Titans), Packerville returns with an image of Brett Favre’s Upper Deck card for 1991. The card features an image of him while at Southern Mississippi in his senior season, instead of him in a Falcons uniform.
Favre was a second-round draft selection by the Atlanta Falcons (33rd overall and the third QB, after Dan McGwire and Todd Marinovich). He completed 14 of 32 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception in the preseason. He was active for three games during the regular season, and played in two of them — October 27th vs. the Rams and November 10th at Washington, in which he attempted four incomplete passes.
The Packers acquired Favre from Atlanta on February 10, 1992 for a first-round draft selection. And the rest is history.
