CANTON, Ohio (KMSP) - Brett Favre’s Hall of Fame locker in Canton, Ohio includes a Vikings Jersey.
Most of Favre’s career was spent with the Green Bay Packers, until his final two years in the NFL. He ended his career as a Minnesota Viking.
Favre was with the Packers when he broke the NFL career touchdown pass record and he was a Viking when he broke Jim Marshall’s record for most consecutive games played.
According to ESPN, the Hall of Fame chooses the items for each locker. The locker is on display for this weekend’s Class of 2016 induction in Ohio.
ESPN tweeted out, “Packers fans won’t like this.”
The Vikings responded to ESPN’s tweet…
Favre and the seven other members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2016 will be honored and celebrated in Canton, Ohio this weekend.
Favre is only the second person to choose his wife, Deanna, as his presenter.
“Deanna is the best teammate I’ve ever had. She has been by my side throughout this journey and I’m so excited that she gets to play such an important role for me.” Favre said.
The only other wife to serve as a presenter was Mike Singletary’s wife in 1998.
Favre was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame last summer in front of a sold out crowd.
