The Packers legend looked back on what drove him to compete at the highest level possible during his storied NFL career, while also discussing how concussions were handled.
Brett Favre stepped away from the NFL following the 2010 season. The Pro Football Hall of Famer was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 and went on to play for the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings. He finished his 20-year career with 508 passing touchdowns and more than 71,000 passing yards. Favre won one Super Bowl and earned three league MVP trophies during his storied career.

'That guy looks like he's having fun,'' he told 'The Ricky Cobb Show.' 'It was never orchestrated. It was never premeditated. I just went out there and played, and whatever happened, happened. I loved to play, and I think that in itself, more than anything, is what drove me all those years.
