“it is with much pride that I submit a resolution congratulating Brett Favre for his outstanding accomplishment in being named the Most Valuable Player of the National Football League for 1995. Brett is a native of my State of Mississippi. He grew up in the Kiln community near the Mississippi Gulf Coast and starred as a student and athlete at Hancock Central High School. He first received national attention as quarterback for the University of Southern Mississippi, where he led his team to victories over such nationally ranked powers as Florida State University, University of Alabama, and Auburn University. This year, Brett Favre set a National Football Conference record of 38 touchdown passes and 4,413 total yards passing during the regular season. This is the third highest number of touchdown passes in a season in NFL history. He threw three more touchdown passes in Sunday's 37 to 20 first round playoff victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Ironically, Brett was chosen for MVP over another outstanding Mississippian and NFL star, Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice is generally considered the best wide receiver and pass catcher in modern history. His accomplishments were noted when he was named MVP of the Super Bowl in 1987. Brett Favre's rise to the top of his profession in four seasons is a testament not only to his ability, but to his courage and determination to excel.”
