Driver's a class act. Congrats to Driver.

Funny, I remember him buried in the depth chart. I remember he was a 7th round pick and didn't really think much of him. Then that one year, the Packers pretty much let go of all their WRs except Driver because they saw potential in him.

Absolutely amazing. I don't think anyone in 1999 would have thought Donald Driver would someday have 600 catches.

Sharpe would have had alot more if he headn't had to retire because of injury.
That said, I'd rather see Driver with the record, as he's a great guy, and Sharpe was full of himself.
Driver has worked his butt off for this team. And i LOVED watching him today. He was all over the place, and you could see he was having fun.

A Class Act for sure. The kind that Green Bay seems to produce...maybe it is a product of the smalltown market, the absolute fan adoration, who knows.

However, put a good man in a good situation and you achieve greatness! Nice work, Driver!

He's a class act. When i got the chance to say hi to him, he was just as great as he looks on the field. Kind of the opposite attitude of Sharpe. Sharpe was in love with himself, and didn't acknowledge the fans.

I'm glad that Driver got the record!!!

Love that he broke the record while dragging four defenders to a first down. Encapsulates his career.

I agree with you when it comes to personal reasons, but had Sharpe not been injured, we probably would have won the SBs in '95 and '97. Sharpe was simply unstoppable, much better than anyone we've had since and that includes Javon Walker, despite what Favre says.

Sharpe is better than anyone today, and that includes Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald. Bold? Perhaps. But the stats back me up and I've seen all of them.

Yep, Sharpe was undoubtedly on his way to being one of the greatest WRs in NFL history.

Better than Fitz and Moss? Those are HOF WR's.

I wish I was older when he played. I definitely dont recognize him like you guys do.

Congrats to DD. I can't think of another player I would like to see hold the GB receptions record.
