Favre\u2019s durability was tested time and time again, whether it was playing through injuries or enduring the harshest of weather conditions.

Even after his long tenure with the Packers ended, he continued his streak with the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings, proving that he was always ready to lead his team no matter where he played.
