Round 1 Pick 18
BRETT FAVRE, QB
“I’m the greatest. You’re the latest. Welcome to the Legends club.”
-Muhammad Ali about Brett Favre
I was originally going to build my team in a different way but Brett Favre is Brett Favre. One of the best QBs of all-time and is still kicking at the ripe age of 39. He holds pretty much every conceivable record for QBs and injuries are not a concern. He can make every throw imaginable and some that aren’t. Quite Frankly (Hi Steven A) his is the BPA imo.
"He's the best, bar none. Whenever God was making them, He put a little extra in him." Undrafted Player
