Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love paid tribute to a franchise icon earlier than his crew’s Week 4 sport in opposition to the Minnesota Vikings.
Love walked into Lambeau Area in Inexperienced Bay, Wisconsin on Sunday sporting a Brett Favre jersey.
The timing possible was not a coincidence. Whereas delivering his testimony at a Congressional listening to on welfare reform earlier this week, Favre revealed that he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
Favre appreciated the gesture. The Corridor of Fame quarterback shared the video on his personal X web page and stated he has “large respect” for Love.
“Huge respect to @jordan3love for sporting this previous man’s jersey. I didn’t assume I might like Jordan anymore till this morning,” Favre wrote.
Favre, who ranks fourth within the NFL all time with 71,838 passing yards, performed within the NFL for 20 seasons from 1991-2010. He spent the majority of his profession in Inexperienced Bay, the place he gained a Tremendous Bowl and three consecutive NFL MVP Awards from 1995-1997.
Love has needed to comply with within the footsteps of each Favre and Aaron Rodgers, which isn’t any simple project. His gesture on Sunday will possible go a great distance with followers in Inexperienced Bay.
