Favre & Nelson Headed in Wisconsin Hall of Fame
Brett Favre and Jordy Nelson have received many accolades in the State of Wisconsin. Both are beloved. And two of the biggest fan favorites of all-time. Nelson is one of the first great Packers players that never actually played with Favre though. Packers drafted the wide receiver in 2008, right as Favre went to New York. These two never got to play together, but my assumption is Favre would have loved to play with Nelson and vice versa. They will go into the Wisconsin Hall of Fame together to celebrate 70 years next Spring. Many people will try to attend this if possible.

If you asked Packers fans, who would you rather hang out with Favre or Nelson? I bet most people go Favre. But if you asked Packers fans, who would rather have on your all-time Packers team? That question becomes much more interesting. Peak Favre versus peak Nelson is a no-brainer, it’s Favre. But when you consider peak Favre versus peak Rodgers, it becomes an awesome sports debate that people do in mid-July. Nelson likely ranks in the top five wide receivers in Packers history.
Congrats to both of them.
