‘”I have a lot of respect for the way he plays the position, and the things I respect most about him is his toughness and how he can get up each week, regardless of injuries, and play through and start each game and have a long streak that he has,” Edwards continued. “You look at Tony Romo, breaking his finger, I think he had 30 straight starts there. You break your finger, and you can’t play. I’m surprised that’s never happened to Brett Favre. He can play through a lot. He’s got a strong arm, he’s obviously very talented and he’s played this game for a long time. It’s a great opportunity. When I heard he was going to the Jets, I was very excited because I get to play against him two times this year and I was a little upset when he retired because I wanted to see him play, much like a lot of people in this league do.”‘
