As a Green Bay Packer, Donald Driver<\/a> had seven 1,000-yard seasons, was a three-time Pro Bowler and won a Super Bowl \u2014 but something recently happened to the former wide receiver that may top all of them.<\/p>\n

The Marcus Performing Arts Center\u00a0in Milwaukee hosted the play, “Dream, Quickie! Dream!,” which is based on the life of the Green Bay<\/a> legend.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s one of the most amazing accomplishments I think I\u2019ve had in my career,” Driver told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.<\/p>\n

“Quickie” was Driver’s childhood name, as he was too quick to be caught by his mother around the house. He wrote children’s books as part of a “Quickie” series, and after he won TV’s “Dancing With The Stars,” Driver wanted to develop the books for the small screen \u2014 he said he even wrote 13 episodes of a show and pitched it to “every different network,” but “it never got past that point.”<\/p>\n

But the Milwaukee performing arts center was able to take the books and make them into a 75-minute “amazing play.”<\/p>\n

“They gave me this platform that I can take my \u2018Quickie\u2019 books, my life story, my memoir, and take that and actually bring it to reality. We have an amazing play going on in Wisconsin just about my childhood, growing up as a kid dreaming that if you want to accomplish things in life, you can\u2026 It\u2019s truly an amazing play, and I think everyone\u2019s fell in love with it\u2026 Hoping we can continue this play and spread it across the world,” said Driver.<\/p>\n

It’s a clich\u00e9 to say that professional athletes often sit back and reflect on their lives, but it certainly rings true for Driver, and he embraces all of it. Despite growing up in poverty and being chosen by the Packers as a seventh-round pick out of Alcorn State<\/a>, Driver’s career 10,137 receiving yards and 743 receptions are both the most in the history of the 103-year-old franchise.<\/p>\n

“I think you have to reflect. I tell people all the time \u2014 you never want to go backwards. For me, I\u2019ve always said this: I don\u2019t make my journey my destination, I make my destination the journey,” he said. “It\u2019s been fun for me. It\u2019s been an amazing journey, and I\u2019m going to continue that journey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The day my journey ends is the day God calls me home, and I\u2019m OK with that. That means I\u2019ve done everything I wanted to do, and I\u2019ve seen everything I want to see. If there are people out there that\u2019s really just trying to figure out their way, I tell people don\u2019t make your journey a destination, because once you make that a destination, then that\u2019s it. It doesn\u2019t get past that. My destination is always going to be a journey, and I love the ups and downs of it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
