This past season Donald was on the receiving end of a 7-yard pass from Favre in the fourth quarter against the Saint Louis Rams that made Brett the NFL's all-time leader in passing yardage, breaking Dan Marino's mark of 61,361 yards. Also in the 2007 season against the San Diego Chargers, Favre threw the pass that allowed Driver to break the All Time Receptions Record in Lambeau Field history.
