Quarterback Brett Favre led the NFL with 4,212 passing yards in 1998, while finishing third in the league with 31 passing TDs on the season.

 

Defensive End Reggie White's last season as a Packer was a truly memorable one as he finished second in the NFL with 16 sacks and his 4 forced fumbles were tied for third in the NFL.  He would retire at the end of the season after playing in his 13th Pro Bowl.

Wide Receiver Antonio Freeman was voted to his first Pro Bowl after leading all NFL receivers with 1,424 receiving yards.  His 84 receptions were good for fifth in the league, while his 14 TD catches were second in the NFL in 1998.
