Brett Favre
Favre didn’t reach the height of his career with his college, the University of Southern Mississippi or even with the Atlanta Falcons. Luckily, he was able to prove himself during his 15 years with the Packers. Yes, he retired in 2010, but is still known as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. He has two daughters with his wife, Deanna Tynes.
Doug Flutie
This NFL player was initially told he was too short to play, but he persevered nonetheless. From a college football starter to NFL player, he played for everyone from the Bears to the Patriots, Buffalo Bills and even Chargers. After retiring, he focused on things like his band with his brother, unsurprisingly called “The Flutie Brother Band.”
