On Monday even though his status for next season remained uncertain the great all mighty Brett Favre once again worked out with high school students in Hattiesburg, Miss.,
Brett Favre use his best athletic skill to dodge reporters in attendance at Oak Grove High School where Brett took off and ran to his truck and drove away.
Favre, 40, has yet to tell the Minnesota Vikings if he will return for a 20th NFL season. He was in his usual cut-off T-shirt, with baggy shorts and a camouflage hat as he worked out with the kids.
On Wednesday night Favre is scheduled to attend the ESPY awards, where he is expected to present the Arthur Ashe award.
This is at least the second time Favre has worked out at Oak Grove High School this month. He is rehabbing from surgery to his left ankle in late May.
