Favre’s number four shirt will be retired.
The Green Bay Packers are going to retire Brett Favre’s No. 4 shirt during their season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on September 8.

Former quarterback Favre, who is 38, holds almost every NFL passing record. He announced his retirement after 17 seasons in the NFL.

Favre is now the sixth player in Packers’ history to have his shirt number retired.

The others players are: wide receiver Don Hutson (No. 14, 1951), fullback Tony Canadeo (No. 3, 1952), quarterback Bart Starr (No. 15, 1973), linebacker Ray Nitschke (No. 66, 1983) and defensive end Reggie White (No. 92, 2005).

All five of those players are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

There were rumors that Favre was having second thoughts but these proved to be groundless. “I have made the right decision” Favre said earlier this month.
