Donald Driver Tribute | Career Highlights

THE All-Time leading receiver in Green Bay Packers history, THE most loyal play you'll every meet, THE great personality of Donald Driver. Drafted in the 7th round in 1999 after stuggling to simply just live and support his family, donald worked harder than anyone could imagine. 13 years later, 10,137 yards later, 743 receptions later, 61 touchdowns later, Donald retired in the Green and Gold. As he once said, he could NEVER wear another uniform, he has too much loyalty and respect to the city of Green Bay. Hats off to this man, one of the greatest Packers to EVER live. If you read this Donald, I myself and us the fans love you, and will never forgot you. We are so thankful for what you brought to this organization. Thanks!

[@jeromehall2142]

Arguably one of the most underrated wide receivers to ever play.

[@averywright7287]

True no one talks about him when they speak of the best

[@neeko9101]

Yeah him and Dre Johnson

[@icetray69]

@Hke D you sound like a Bear fan

[@omnipepper3665]

DH K He’s the all time reciever for the packers and probably isn’t even considered a top 7 packers receiver when he should be top 5 easily. People now would put Hudson, Nelson, James Jones, Jennings, Adams, Cobb, and Freeman over him.

[@omnipepper3665]

DH K plus Sterling and Loften

[@meep231_]

I miss this great receiving core with Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Jermichael Finley, James Jones, Jordy Nelson.

[@Carlos-yw8qi]

We have Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Jeff Janis, Jared Cook, Davante Adams, Jared A.

[@bigploppa154]

The Joemeister you still think adams not good?

[@martonius1111]

I think one thing that that was special about Driver, that some might not have noticed, was how hard he fought for extra yards after the catch. He was really good at that.

[@brandonclark8736]

Martin Johnson Are you kidding? Lol.... That's the ONE thing everyone noticed about Driver. It's what makes him a legend, the guy fights and doesn't quit.

[@richardclifford003]

Martin J Very astute. I thought the same thing.

[@chris-kk4lj]

Believe that it was noticed.. thats what made him a packers legend!

Whenever a slant/high flyer headed Don's way.. and you hear, "to Driver!" .. he was GOING to catch/run it. He was so reliable man. Never did it for the cameras and glamour. Blue collar mentality. Only missed 4 career games. Green Bay should've retired his #80, he already has a statue and street named after him at Green Bay. Miss him

[@donsolos]

The YAC machine himself, mr double d, donald driver. Easily one of my favorite players when I was kid. He is a big reason why the packers were always at the top of the league in YAC

[@Squidney1144]

It makes me happy to know that a player like Driver got to play the entirety of his career with two future Hall of Fame QBs. He wasn't a wasted talent that never got to see his full potential because there was no talent throwing the ball. It's satisfying knowing he got what he deserved.

[@scottlafleur4148]

A true Green Bay Packer. A receiver who wasn't a diva. He was just a great football player.

[@sab605]

From being a child living in a car to one of the greatest receivers in the NFL. His story should be told and is living proof that one should never give up in search of your dream. When he retired numerous teams offered him to return to the NFL and play and he kept his promise to only wear the green and Gold. You have to respect a man like that.

[@pushingsincedayone]

Driver was my favorite WR as a kid and honestly i have no idea why but… he was 🙏 miss those days

[@johnd3687]

Driver will forever be my favorite player to play in the NFL. He was very good, not the best to ever play, but he was reliable during a few years when Favre had no other options. He was also a solid dude, known for being extremely selfless. I actually got to meet him in Milwaukee, and he was really nice.

[@scots04]

[@timothykenyon106]

Definitely one of the greatest ever

[@markusallred6246]

better then odell because he does it so perfectly. odell has to do these amazing catches for publicity and popularity. but driver just does his job like a real football player should

[@TheBanderson22]

What do you mean "has" to do amazing catches? Lol. Like an "amazing" catch is the only thing he can catch. If someone is average, like you implied here, then you can't skip average to get to amazing. Lmao with the logic.

[@markusallred6246]

Ben i love your "this guys a nerd cuz he has his own opinion that I dont agree with" attitude. you really fit in to the youtube comments section

[@RetroEnerqy]

Ben did you watch Odell's playoff game, the "average catches" were the things he couldn't catch.

[@vincentrocchio9173]

His name is misspelled: it should be "Driven". He was an incredible player and an incredible human being. If there were a "Bart Starr" award, he would win it. The Packers were blessed to have him, and he was always grateful to be a Packer. Talk about a match made in heaven.

[@gjk2746]

The Packers should make Justin Perillo choose a new number and retire Donald Driver's #80

[@TheFactsX]

Thank you so much Basaraski! Another high quality video that made me shed a tear or two. Greatest 7th round draft pick ever??? So glad we got him a ring. He truly deserved it. The most humble and classy guy ever. So glad he helped mold Jordy Nelson and Cobb before he retired. Shame Jennings couldn't have half the class as Driver. Came and worked hard every day even during our losing seasons with Brett Favre. Donald Driver is truly all class. And that white smile is legendary. And he could dance too! Won dancing with the stars. Donald Driver is one of the Greatest Packers ever! Again thank you Basaraski! Even though Brett Favre played for the Vikings for a few years I'll be eyeing a Brett Favre highlight! Love me some Donald Driver!

On every single play too. Dude would fight for every inch he could get at every moment of every down no matter how much punishment was on it’s way or how inconsequential the yardage was

[@timallbritton7329]

My first memory of football ever was the Ice Bowl, watching it on black and white TV, and my mom had the flu, sick in bed. Starr rushed and score the winning TD and I was a Bart Starr fan forever, and mom was none too thrilled when I woke her to tell her Green Bay had won. But Donald Driver, especially with his background and all that, is in a dead heat with Starr as my favorite Packer ever. What a player, what a great man. What a story.

A soldier and great role model on the field. Exactly how I'd want my son to behave, if he played football. Driver was always smiling after getting crunched by a vicious hit. I once saw (in person) Donald Driver make an 85-yd TD reception from Favre in a Monday night game against the Bears in Champaign, IL. (Oct. 7, 2002). The Bears stadium was being renovated, but there were plenty of obnoxious Bear fans still present. I can remember when my daughter and I were going into the stadium, and stadium workers were carrying boxes of Marty Booker bobble-heads in. Oh... and the Packers won, 34-21.
