2006 Press Room

December 19, 2006

In what is already shaping up to be a record breaking season for Lammi Sports Management's Donald Driver; the Packers wide receiver received recognition for his stellar 2006 season with a trip to the NFL Pro Bowl.  This is Donald's second Pro Bowl selection (2002).  Currently the NFC's leader in receiving yards, Driver is on pace to break his own personal receiving records in route to a career year.  Earlier this season, Driver eclipsed the 5,000 yard and 35 touchdown marks for his career.

The Packers convincing 30-19 win in San Francisco did not just continue their strong play on the road, it also saw Donald Driver break a number of Green Bay Packer records:

• Consecutive 1,000 Seasons - Donald's 22 yard catch in the 2nd quarter put him over 1,000 yards for the third straight year (4th 1,000 yard season of his career) which ties a team record for most consecutive 1,000 yard seasons with James Lofton and Sterling Sharpe.
• Career Receptions - Donald made his 400th career reception on an 8 yard completion at the end of the 1st half.  He is now one of only six Packers in the 400 Reception Club (Sharpe, Lofton, Don Hutson, Boyd Dowler and Antonio Freeman).
• Most Productive Quarterback & Wide Receiver Combination - The highly potent combination of Brett Favre to Donald Driver has now accounted for 33 Packer touchdowns, tying the duo for 4th on franchise's all-time list with Cecil Isbell and Hutson.
• Career Bests in sight - Driver needs 119 yards in his final 3 games to top his single-season career high of 1,221, which he set last year.
  

When asked about all that he has accomplished, Donald said "I've wanted to be one of those guys the Green Bay Packers always remember.   Coming in I knew Sterling, I knew James Lofton, I knew Don Hutson. I wanted to be a part of that tradition..."
