Donald Driver's Media Success

Donald Driver sure has a bright future onscreen whenever he leaves the NFL for good (sob!).

What a charmer.

After winning the 14th season of Dancing with the Stars, Donald Driver launched a huge tour of the top shows.  He was interviewed by everyone from Live! with Kelly, Ellen from The Ellen Degeneres Show, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!  In between those big names, he was featured on shows such as Entertainment Tonight, Extra and stations like CNN and BET.  As we've seen here on this blog, he's a natural onscreen.

Maybe someday we'll be tuning into the Donald Driver Show, Live!  I can not actually imagine stranger things happening...

Donald Driver's GMA appearance

I can't get enough Donald Driver so videos like this help get my #80 fix.  Here he is on GMA, hosting a report for Good Morning America.  Best part?  He's shirtless.  Second best part?  You see his beautiful family.  His baby girl is especially adorable!

Check it out and enjoy!

Donald Driver Wins Dancing with the Stars

Shiny trophies are not new to Donald Driver. He added another one to his collection recently, taking home the coveted mirror ball trophy Tuesday night on “Dancing with the Stars.” 

Runner-up Katherine Jenkins and third-place finisher William Levy also performed on Tuesday.

Some viewers were surprised by the win, but here at Packers Badgers, we know a winner when we see one (so do the Packers!). Driver was dubbed by the judges as a dancer with “great physique, great posture, great presence”.

Congratulations to Donald Driver!

Donald Driver Says He'll Play Until 40

Donald Driver has said that he would like to play football until he is forty. Are you kidding me? He's going to be like Stephen Hawkin. Seriously Donald, I love you to death and love watching you play, but you got to retire! It's not good for you, you gotta quit while you're ahead with football. We've got Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, and James Jones! The Bears and Vikings don't have any receivers that good! We'd love to have you, but want to see you live past 60. Thank you,

- A Loyal Packer Fan

Donald Driver is Still on this Team

That's right folks. Donald Driver is still a member of this team. Just so we can wrap your minds around how old he is and how long he has been on the team, I'm going to tell you what was happening in 1999 when Donald Driver was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 7th round of the 1999 NFL Draft. I was going to do 80 things about 1999 in honor of Driver but I truly don't want to do that.

1. The world was preparing to have a global millennium party.

2. There was an email virus called Melissa that destroyed nearly 1 million computers and caused 80 million dollars in damage.

3. The human population surpassed 6 billion.

4. Myspace became a part of the internet

5. Napster was released.

6. People were beginning to worry about Y2k

7. Friends was the most popular show on tv.

8. The first Matrix was in theaters.

9. Lenny Kravitz was extremely popular.

10. Bill Clinton was president.

What Donald Driver is reading

Listen up, bibliophiles. If you are looking for a new book to put on your winter reading lists, Donald Driver has some advice: read Sun Up.

Now, if you're like me, you immediately scoped out amazon.com for this alluring text. If Donald Driver is reading it, I must, too!

However, I hit a roadblock. Which Sun Up is the text to which the Donald refers?

Is it Sun Up by Elizabeth Cooper? This is a children's book about, apparently, a picnic between an assortment of animals.

Could this really be Donald Driver's pick?

Is it Sun Up by Alvin Tresselt and Henri Sorenson?

This is a children's book about a day at a farm. Joy.

Or maybe it's Sun Up: Tales of the Cow Camps by Will James.

Yet another children's book!

Donald Driver does enjoy juvenile fiction, so it wouldn't surprise me to see that a children's book was his all time fav. But which one is it? WHICH ONE????

Alliteration with Donald Driver

Kids are cuties Cristian and Christina.


Donald Driver drills diligently downfield.


Green guys go gleefully to the gridiron.

Many moments made more magical with Mr. Driver.

Get Donald Driver a cane!

"Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"

These are the words that old-timer Donald Driver may be saying any day. After all, the guy is THE oldest Packers players this season. At a feeble 35 years of age, old Donald was in middle school when some of his teammates were birthed. I don't know which experience is more traumatizing.

To help our pal out, I've come up with a list of products that could aid him in his advanced age.

Wait a second. This medical alert system ad feels a bit off.

Oh! Here we go.

Yayyyyyy.

How about some of these guys?

I think we can do a little better than that, hula hooping woman whose bladder is failing!

Oh no he didn't!

In all honesty, Donald Driver is a young spring chicken yet. He's so talented, has a heart of gold (volunteers all the time and helps with so many causes), and he is smokin' hot. Let's end on that note! I hereby present....Donald Driver is smokin' hot!

"35 is the new 25, biotches."

Donald Driver is an Inspiration

Donald Driver, a Texan turned Wisconsin resident, has been playing with the Green Bay Packers since he was chosen in the 1999 NFL Draft out of Alcorn State University. Driver currently holds the Packers franchise record for the most TD receptions for any Packer wide receiver. During his time Alcorn State, Donald Driver was a five time “Athlete of the Year” in track and football. Driver is an incredible athlete with an intense background. Before turning his life around, Donald lived in a U-Haul truck and got into quite a bit of trouble with drugs and stealing. But, you would never know he had a shady past if you met the guy. As one of the toughest wide receivers in the NFL, Driver is talented, smart and an all around great guy. Driver currently hosts “Inside the Huddle with Donald Driver” which is a statewide TV show in its 7th season as of 2009. When he isn’t talking football, Driver tries to give back to the community and even started his own “Donald Driver Foundation” for children unable to pay their hospital bills.

Donald Driver versus Donald Lee

We've got two talented Donalds here on the Green Bay Packers roster. We've got two bald Donalds at that. Between Donald Lee (top photo) and Donald Driver (bottom) which player looks better bald?

Donald Driver, Children's Author

Donald Driver is a Green Bay Packers fan favorite on Lambeau Field. I know I've cheered him on during many a game. However, Donald Driver intrigues me even more for what he does the off-field. Back in November 2008, Donald Driver released his first children's book, Quickie Makes the Team.


This 32 page fully illustrated book was inspired by his two kids and proceeds will benefit the Donald Driver Foundation which finds aid for the homeless nationwide. Talk about a great guy!

Players like Donald Driver really secure the Green Bay Packers' status as my favorite team. He is a star player and awesome to watch, but also steps up to help others in need. Skim the Packers roster and you'll find lots of stand-up players like Donald Driver. They're just a great team and they make Wisconsin proud to wear the green and yellow!
