Hello NFL

You can thank the Atlanta Falcons for bringing in Brett Favre to the NFL. In 1991, Favre was drafted by the Falcons during the second round as the 33rd overall pick. He signed a three year contract, totaling $1.4 million with an alleged signing bonus of $350,000. Jerry Glanville, the then Atlanta head coach, didn’t approve of Favre’s draft – in fact, he said that “it would take a plane crash for him to put Favre into the game”. Ouch.
