Donald Driver, Packers WRs 'as Good as They Come'

Filed under: , , ,

Greg Jennings and Donald Driver

DALLAS -- Donald Driver turns 36 on Wednesday. No need to ask what he wants for his birthday: a Super Bowl win on Sunday by the Green Bay Packers.

If they get it, Driver will have a major role as the "old man,'' the tutor, the elder statesman of a group of four wide receivers that's probably the best in the NFL and has helped turn Aaron Rodgers into one of the league's best quarterbacks.

Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones and Jordy Nelson are a remarkable quartet.

None were first-round choices -- Nelson (2008) and Jennings (2006) were second rounders; Jones a third-rounder in 2007; and Driver, best known as Brett Favre's favorite target, was a late seventh-rounder in 1999, chosen 213th overall in a draft in which two first-round receivers (David Boston, No. 8 overall; Troy Edwards, No. 13) are long gone from the NFL and left little impact when they were in it. And Edwards was taken by, of all teams, Pittsburgh, which Green Bay will face on Sunday.
