That is a great story.

Donald Driver is a great guy from everything I read and hear.
Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another. -Vince Lombardi

He is such an amazing guy. These are the people that deserve to make it. Yet, at least half the league seems to be filled with people that tend to go more the TO kind of guy.

I agree that we shouldn't keep him, only because he's nice, but this is the guy that brings something extra to a team. I hope he can just keep producing.

Oh, and this is handled great by that mom aswell, I mean, she had to go through quite a hassle aswell to get all of this to happen.

I have a feeling that after Driver retires from playing football, he'll have a job with the Packers in some form.

Anyways, nice read. Should we asphyxiate RP now?

I like reading these stories as much as the next man, but they don't sway my opinion in the least. If we decide not to trade Driver because he's a good guy who helps little kids, and not because he is no longer the best fit for our team, we don't deserve to win.

Do you think he's not a good fit for our team right now?

I think he fits just fine! He's producing well, has taken his "demotion" to our #2 WR just fine, and as this story shows, a 100% class act!

I think the Packers MGMT has shown that it's not afraid to make an "unpopular" move if they feel the player is no longer worth it. I don't mean just the BF thing, but KGB is a good example too. So i'm not sure what your reason was for bringing the negative up in this thread.
Maybe i missed something or misunderstood what you are saying.
Do you just mean "overall", or is it Driver in particular?

This was a nice feelgood story about an NFL player who is a classy guy who did something good for a little kid.
Why the negativity?

Driver should stay a Packer till he retires. He is still a great fit for the team.

I agree!
And then when his playing days are over the Packers should find a place for him in their organization.
He is a huge positive in the community.

I agree 100%.
He would be GREAT as a "good will" ambassador. His personality is wonderful! I can't help but wonder if some of why Jennings is the way he is, is because of being around Driver.
The few times i have been around Driver, he has gone out of his way to talk with us, to joke around with us, and sign autographs.
He's talented, AND classy!
One of my all time favorite Packers!
