MISSISSIPPI: Brett Favre

Brett Favre was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, in 1969, and played for the Atlanta Falcons, the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets, and the Minnesota Vikings throughout his 20-year career.

Favre holds quite a few NFL records, including the most career pass completions and attempts. For a quarterback over the age of 40, Favre also has the most career passing yards and ties with Tom Brady for the most regular-season games with 300-plus passing yards.

Favre is the only player in NFL history to win the NFL MVP Award three consecutive times, between 1995 and 1997, and won Super Bowl XXXI with the Green Bay Packers. In 2016, Favre was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
