[post_page_title]First game ever[/post_page_title]
Brett did not start out as a quarterback. In his first ever football game in the fifth grade during his school’s “fifth grade jamboree,” Favre scored three running touchdowns.
And believe it or not, when he got into the end zone for the touchdown, another kid came up to him and pulled his pants down. However, he knew that his arm was a cannon even before the fifth grade – he just was not put in the quarterback position.

Favre eventually joined his high school football team as the lead offensive blocker. His father, who happened to be his high school’s football coach, was always hard on him, always pushing him to do better and to be stronger.
However, this was not a case of nepotistic favoritism, as even members of his own team admit that the coach was always a lot harder on Brett than on any of the other players.
