GREEN BAY —
Another street in Green Bay is now renamed after a Packers player
or coach.
City officials
unveiled the sign Saturday changing Pearl Street to Donald Driver
Way, for the recently retired wide receiver who spent 14 seasons
with the Packers.
Also unveiled
Saturday was a 28-year-old statue in front of Titletown Brewery
that has been painted to look like Driver by the so-called Packers
"Fence Painter" Chris Handler.
Driver retired
this winter after catching 743 passes for 10,137 yards after
making the team as a seventh-round draft pick out of Alcorn State
in 1999.
Driver choked
back tears as he thanked the community and team for its support
Saturday. He also thanked former Packers President Ron Wolf, who
was in attendance. Wolf signed Driver to the team.
