Another street in Green Bay is now renamed after a Packers player or coach. City officials unveiled the sign Saturday changing Pearl Street to Donald Driver Way, for the recently retired wide receiver who spent 14 seasons with the Packers. Also unveiled Saturday was a 28-year-old statue in front of Titletown Brewery that has been painted to look like Driver by the so-called Packers "Fence Painter" Chris Handler. Driver retired this winter after catching 743 passes for 10,137 yards after making the team as a seventh-round draft pick out of Alcorn State in 1999. Source: Associated Press
Every bit of it is deserved. Driver is a class act who came from the gutter and literally sleeping on the street to the top of the mountain in the NFL. He always respresented the Packers with class, dignity, sportsmanship and respect. He's the kind of Packer that I wish they all could be. If you dont know the Donald Driver story, this is well worth a watch. Like they say at the end, if after watching that, you arent a Donald Driver fan, you need to check your pulse:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rni7Wt3n8sw
