Donald Driver a Frequent Visitor to Waukesha

One of the best receivers ever to wear a Packers uniform, Donald Driver, will be ending his 14-year football career as a Green Bay Packer. 

Driver, a frequent Waukesha visitor, announced that his career has come to an end, with an official retirement ceremony slated for Feb. 6 in the Lambeau Field Atrium. 

“I would never have expected it, being a seventh-round pick, and a lot of people telling you that you weren’t going to make the team,” Driver told packers.com a few short years ago.
