The Facts:
Driver is 36 years old with 12 years of experience. The challenge is no longer as a seventh-round draft pick making it against all odds. It will be about proving that he has fully recovered from the quadriceps injury that resurfaced before the Super Bowl as well as the high ankle sprain and knee injury he suffered during the game. It will also be to continue as a productive member of Green Bay's talent-rich offense. "I know I can play at a high level," he said. "I have two years left on my contract; I want to play those two years out -- as a starter."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Journal-Sentinel staffer Lori Nickel, the quadriceps injury is well in the rearview mirror. But Driver admits the ankle sprain was much worse than he initially thought when he hobbled off the field in Dallas. He was in a boot for two months and felt pain shoot from the knee down to the ankle. But he's now running and working out at full strength, he said. When training camp breaks, he said he'll participate fully. Driver admitted it's hard to compile gaudy receiving numbers with receiver Greg Jennings in the lineup and TE Jermichael Finley returning from injury. Jordy Nelson and perhaps James Jones (who could leave via free agency) will also have a say in the veteran's playing time.
