Brett Favre began his college football career as seventh-string quarterback, but by the second half of the third game of the season, he became the starting quarterback. With the Green Bay Packers, he enjoyed the longest string of starts (297 games) for any quarterback in NFL history. Throughout his career, Favre dealt with a number of serious injuries. As a result, he used and abused medications for chronic pain. Favre had a seizure during an ankle surgery in 1996. The seizure, which was related to his addiction, served as a wakeup call for him to seek treatment. He told the media, “Believe me when I tell you that this is going to be hard, but I have faced tougher trials and succeeded,” he said. “I will not allow myself to be defeated by this challenge.” Six months after completing treatment, he led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots.
