Driver is regarded as the
Green Bay Packers’ most
versatile and agile pass
catcher. “He’s just to me an
excellent football player, a
great leader for our group
of receivers, a true
professional and a
hard-working guy in
practice”, stated Green Bay
receivers coach Jimmy
Robinson. A top performer
his entire career, Driver
has been a three time Pro
Bowl selection (2002, 2006
and 2007). Donald has led
the Packers receiving attack
over the past eight seasons
accumulating over 8,500
yards and 46 touchdowns. In
2007 Donald became Lambeau
Field’s all-time leader in
receptions, surpassing
Antonio Freeman in just the
Packers’ third game of the
season. |

In addition to being
extraordinary on the field,
Donald is also a true role
model off the field.
Persevering through
incredible setbacks has
sparked Donald to become one
of the most active Green Bay
Packers in the community;
making over 300 appearances
since his rookie 1999
season. In the spring of
2001, Donald and his wife
Betina created the “Donald
Driver Foundation”, which
offers assistance to ill
children with unmanageable
hospital bills, provides
housing for the homeless,
and donates to a variety of
local charities. In December
of 2003, the foundation put
two previously homeless
families in new, fully
furnished homes. |

Donald has also donated much of
his time and efforts to such
institutions as Children’s
Hospital of Wisconsin and
Goodwill Industries. In 2001,
Driver was awarded the
“Community Service Award” by the
Green Bay Chamber of Commerce in
recognition of his outstanding
community involvement. Donald
also received the Walter Payton
Man of the Year award in 2002,
the only NFL award that
recognizes off-the-field
community service as well as
playing excellence. In 2005 he
was awarded the Ed Block Courage
award by his Green Bay
teammates. If Donald Driver is a
Pro Bowl player on the football
field, he is surely an MVP in
life. |
