PUBLISHER COMMENTS:
Brett Favre is in a class of his own. Born on October 10, 1969, in Gulfport, Mississippi, this small-town hero dreamed big, and at the age of 29, he has forged a place for himself among pro-football's all-time elite quarterbacks.
Favre has been selected as the NFL's Most Valuable Player by the Associated Press for a record three consecutive years. In 1997, he became the first player in NFL history to win the AP honor three times, let alone in three consecutive years.
A fierce competitor and an acknowledged team leader, he has led Green Bay to six straight winning seasons, five consecutive berths in the NFL playoffs (a feat unprecedented in the team's rich postseason history), three straight NFL Central Division titles, three consecutive NFC Championship games, and two back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, including the Super Bowl XXXI win, the Packers' first Super Bowl triumph in 29 years.
Favre's dominance in his position is based on his remarkable productivity, exemplified by his impressive personal statistics and career passing records.
Photographer Marc Serota masterfully captures the essence of this exceptional sportsman in moments of exuberance and quiet introspection. Favre openly shares his life on and off the field, with great insights into the game and what dreams are made of.
