HOF 2016: Brett Favre headlines 2016 Hall of Fame class

What Favre did during his 20-year National Football League career, was nothing short of unbelievable. Favre will likely speak last, but the Packers will be well represented as former assistant coach Kevin Greene will be also be enshrined.

More than 60,000 fans showed up during training camp to watch Lerentee McCray who recently signed with the Green Bay Packers. And Brett, obviously, being a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

On Monday, Green Bay Press-Gazette reporter Ryan Wood said that Davante Adams is having a “rough camp so far”, after he spotted him dropping an Aaron Rodgers pass in the end zone.

They may not have been quite as chummy in 2008, when Rodgers took over as the starter following the messy split between the Packers and Favre who, at the time, had a hard time deciding whether or not he was going to retire.

All of his accomplishments together, have set Favre up to be the man who will put a cap on the 2016 Enshrinement Ceremony for this Hall of Fame class.

The Packers are staying in Cleveland and must organize travel to Canton for the ceremony.

It’s also a game week, so the schedule is modeled after how the Packers operate during the regular season for a road game.

McCarthy values the Family Night practice for how it can simulate aspects of game day, especially in front of a familiar full house at Lambeau. “I don’t know if anybody’s real, real excited about a fifth preseason game, except for the people making the money on that, but it’ll be exciting to be there because there’s so much history and tradition surrounding Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame”.

“The excitement for me is being a part of the environment, to watch Brett and Kevin go in”, Rodgers said.

NOTES: NFL officials met with the Packers to talk about rules changes and point of emphasis.

“We’ll do our play-time report”. “It was pretty early in his career – probably like ’93 or ’94, and somehow he ended up on his knees and he saw somebody open and he said, ‘I remember thinking this is going to be the greatest ever” and he throws it and one of the Lions linebackers picked it off”, Dougherty said.

“Safety has become more of an important piece really in the public altogether, but coming to a large scale event like a football game is something that the NFL wants to get more proactive with as the years have gone by”, said Packers Director of Public Affairs Aaron Popkey.

“We want to keep as many of those big guys as we can, and we have a lot of skill guys playing good, too”.
