Packers WR Donald Driver To Retire

Donald Driver won’t be back in 2013, as the Packers announced that their all-time leading wide receiver will retire with an official retirement ceremony slated for next Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the Lambeau Field Atrium.

“I would never have expected it, being a seventh-round pick, and a lot of people telling you that you weren’t going to make the team,” Driver said a few short years ago, when he rattled off the long-since-forgotten players he was competing with as a young, wide-eyed rookie. “To get that opportunity to pass all the greats that have played before me, it’s an honor just to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys.”

   He is a very good player. Will be a big loss for the packers in the next season.
