Favre, an enigma in himself, joined the Packers in 1992. He went on to establish himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the league. Between 1992-2007, Favre won the Super Bowl and three NFL MVP awards while playing for the Packers.
Aaron Rodgers took over as a starter in 2008 after Favre left to join the Minnesota Vikings. Replacing Favre was no small task. But after spending two years under his tutelage, Rodgers hit the road running in his debut season.
