MS HC92

Commends Brett Favre, a Mississippi native, for his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2016 on February 6, 2016, as a first-ballot selection.

Recognizes Favre's three-time NFL MVP status and his career records as a 20-year NFL veteran, including most career completions (6,300), attempts (10,169), passing yards (71,838), and passing touchdowns (508).

Highlights Favre's distinction as the only quarterback to have led a team to victory over all 32 NFL teams since the league expanded to 32 teams in 2002, and his "Iron Man" record for consecutive starts.

Acknowledges Favre's charitable contributions off the field, including his active role in helping Mississippi's coastal counties recover from Hurricane Katrina.

Directs that copies of the resolution be furnished to Brett Favre and the Capitol Press Corps.
