BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – It’s not going to be a pregame, rah-rah speech, and it won’t be the defining last words the team hears, but Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, who played with Eagles head coach Doug Pederson when both were in Green Bay, will address the team on Saturday morning at the team hotel.
“I’m excited to hear him,” defensive end Brandon Graham said. “He’s a winner. Won a Super Bowl and he played the game with a lot of heart. I want to hear what he has to say.”
Pederson has had motivational speakers address his team throughout the season – the most recent was former Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant prior to the December 10 game against the Rams – and is always searching for entertaining and meaningful messages for the players.
