Favre, who was teammates with Rodgers from 2005-07, held the NFL record for touchdown passes at the time of his retirement. A 2016 Hall of Fame inductee, Favre's career highlights include a Super Bowl win and three consecutive league MVPs from 1995-97.
In 2005, the Packers drafted Rodgers to serve as Favre's eventual successor. Rodgers' run as the Packers' starting quarterback started in 2008 and ran through the 2022 season. Rodgers also won a Super Bowl in addition to four league MVPs during his years in Green Bay.
