Allen Barbre, a member of the Tunica Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, is starting his third year for the Green Bay Packers.
Barbre, 25, recently switched positions. He hopes his role as a right tackle will get him more time on the field this season.
“I feel a lot more comfortable now,” Barbre told Indian Country Today.
Brett Favre, whose father was Mississippi Choctaw, used to play for the Packers.
