Driver posted 7 one hundred-yard seasons during his 14 years with the Packers. On four occasions his name would be called to fill the NFC Pro Bowl roster.

An Olympic-caliber athlete coupled with a heart as big as any produced some magical moments in the green and gold.
There has never been a more emphatic first down signal than from the likes of number 80. Driver even managed to bring home a championship on Dancing with the Stars.
