A Packers legend thinks Brett Favre will return to his prior status in Green Bay as a legend himself, it will just take some time.

Brett is such a huge part of Packers history, it's hard to believe that he will be forever shunned from the city that loved him so much for years.

The green and yellow #4 jersey will be in the Hall Of Fame someday, not purple. So it may take Arron Rogers to win a Super Bowl for the bad memories of Favre to disappear, but it will happen.

Paul Hornung believes Brett Favre will one day be welcomed back with open arms by the Green Bay faithful. The Hall of Famer just thinks it will take time.

Having the Packers win a Super Bowl with another quarterback while Favre limps into retirement — perhaps for real this time — would help speed up the healing process.

"Then everybody will be over it," Hornung said with a laugh.

The former Green Bay star says Favre's departure from the team three seasons ago was difficult for all involved, but added those days seem like a distant memory now that the Packers are soaring under budding superstar Aaron Rodgers.
