Brett Favre’s oddest legacy in Green Bay has to do with his headgear. Follow me down this rabbit hole, if you please.

At Southern Miss, Favre made a name for himself wearing what’s referred to as a four-point chinstrap attachment. As you can see, the chinstrap attaches to the helmet at four different points.

Favre donned a similar chinstrap during his lone season with the Falcons…

...and early on during his time in Green Bay. As you can see, Favre even wore the four-point chinstrap during his legendary comeback win over the Bengals.

However, by the time the 1993 season rolled around, Favre had switched to his now-customary two-point chinstrap attachment, a configuration he would keep until the end of his career.

By itself, this is an interesting nugget (at least to me). But what I find fascinating is how Favre’s chinstrap preference has spread to his successors.

When Aaron Rodgers first arrived in Green Bay, he used a four-point chinstrap attachment, as you can see here:

But soon, Rodgers changed his chinstrap to mirror Favre’s, completing his first pass as a member of the Packers in a chinstrap that resembled his mentor's.

He, too, has now worn the two-point variety through the remainder of his career.

Rodgers’ own proteges have tended to mirror his choices as well, as both Graham Harrell and B.J. Coleman adopted the two-point look during their stints in Green Bay, despite both using the four-point variety in college.

And while Scott Tolzien and Matt Flynn both went their own way with four-point chinstraps, what is that we see from Brett Hundley, himself a former four-point chinstrap user? That’s right, Favre’s chinstrap choices have now influenced third generation of Packers quarterbacks.
