The kids are all right, Part I

Brett Favre isn't the only quarterback named Favre who's having a big season.

His nephew, Dylan, a sophomore at St. Stanislaus High School in Bay St. Louis, Miss., completed 178 of 321 passes for 3,092 yards and 36 touchdowns this season, the latter both records for southern Mississippi passers. His passing yardage is ninth all-time in Mississippi and his TD total is 11th all time. He threw only 13 interceptions.

The Rock-A-Chaws went 8-3 but were eliminated from the playoffs last week, so Dylan is looking forward to baseball ... and spring football.

"I'm going to take time for my shoulder to heal up," the 5-foot-10, 170-pound Favre told the Biloxi Sun Herald. "I need to get bigger and stronger, and work with Coach Stu (Rayburn, the Rock-a-chaws offensive coordinator) on my mechanics."

Dylan comes from a family that knows a little about quarterbacking. His dad, Jeff, and two uncles, Brett and Scott, were quarterbacks at Hancock North Central High School. Dylan's late grandfather, Irvin, coached at Hancock North Central. Dylan lives with Scott Favre during the school year.
