Brett Favre highlights 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame class
- 8 years ago
Brett Favre, whose durability and gun-slinging approach to quarterbacking captivated the imagination of football fans for two decades, became the 14th first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback after being voted in on Saturday night.
He became one of eight members of the 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
Owner Eddie DeBartolo, Jr., coach Tony Dungy, linebacker/defensive end Kevin Greene, wide receiver Marvin Harrison, tackle Orlando Pace, quarterback Ken Stabler and guard Dick Stanfel also made the cut.
"It's an incredible feeling.
It really is," Favre said.
"I'm well aware of my career and what I've done and I've accepted it for what it is, but Roger Staubach comes on stage and I get goosebumps.
"I'm extremely thankful I'm part of the group, but I honestly feel like I'm not part of the group.
And I mean that with the utmost respect."
