LeRoy Butler Says Brett Favre Was Best Packers Teammate: 'We Saw One Color'

Former NFL safety LeRoy Butler spent his entire 12-year career with the Green Bay Packers, getting a front-row seat to the ascent of quarterback Brett Favre as the franchise leader.

It was a position Butler says Favre didn't take lightly and made sure there was unity across the roster. Speaking with TMZ Sports, Butler recounted how Favre developed inclusion in the clubhouse.

"He was the best teammate, in my opinion, ever and probably in all of sports because nothing bothered him— especially not color, especially not a guy's religion or sexuality or anything like that," Butler said.
