  • Donald Driver Giving Back



    Driver has made more than 500 community appearances like this in his 11-plus years as a Packer.
    That's almost 50/year (probably more since he became more well known). That's an incredible amount of charitable work--even for a pro athlete. Kudos to Donald--a fan favorite on and off the field.

    Great player, great guy, there is no better person you want representing your franchise than Donald Driver.

        I remember when PR interviewed DD's mom about the Driver Foundation. That was a good day.

          I remember when PR was a growing concern with a home page, articles, wisdom from many distinct sources, fun, excitement, etc. etc.

          Now I understand what 'absentee landlord' means.

            It all just makes a fan proud to know that this guy is going to be in the GB HoF. He has so much respect across the entire league for what he does on and off the field, it;s really going to be a sad day when we don't bring him back, or he retires.

                  William Henderson should STILL be a Packer.

                        Only after DD retires. I'm betting when DD retires, he'll stick to his decision.

                          Falco, I understand the point you're trying to make, but why is that such an unreasonable statement?

                            I actually don't think its an unreasonable statement. I'm rolling my eyes at the "tone" of the post. I don't doubt that when DD hits the wall, TT will make a decision to let him go (and probably allow him an opportunity to retire, like Henderson had, and Favre to a degree). That's just the nature of the beast.

                            I took it from Numb's statement that TT has a habit of throwing away old players like garbage; I just don't think thats the case at all.
