Man I get choked up whenever I have to come to grips with the reality he will be gone.
I know just where I was in 1999 when I discovered he was drafted ( Round: 7 - Pick: 213 Overall); how impressed I was with his athletic credentials.
Donald Driver attended Alcorn State University in Mississippi, where he lettered in both football and track & field. He finished his college football career there with 88 receptions for 1993 yards (19.69 Yards Per Catch). Driver is one of the most decorated track athletes in the NFL (he is an Olympic class high jumper, being able to jump 7 feet 6 inches[1] and could have qualified for the 2000 Summer Olympics team). He was a five-time "Athlete of the Year" in his conference for his track and football prowess.
Driver is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Fr Sources
What a career he gave us to enjoy:
** 4× Pro Bowl (2002, 2006, 2007, 2010)
** Super Bowl champion (XLV)
** Green Bay Packers MVP (2002)
** Packers "Walter Payton Man of the Year" (2002)
** Ed Block Courage Award (2005)
** Green Bay Packers Receiving Yards All-Time Leader
** Green Bay Packers Receptions All-Time Leader
My All Time Favourite Green Bay PACKER, that wasn't a QB.
Long may you excell Donald Driver !
