The comments from Driver are about as loyal as you can find from a player. It would have been weird to see Driver in a different uniform, but that’s par for the course at the end of people’s careers. The fact that he never wanted to play in any jersey but the Packers is very special. People should not take that for granted. You will not see many guys that are like Driver. Honestly, this isn’t some ‘team-first’ bullshit thing ever. Guys can look out for themselves and should. But it’s very rare when a guy thinks about the team first and the love he has for it.
