Brett Favre isn't the only Green Bay Packer currently making news.

Packer wideout Donald Driver and former running back and current running backs coach Edgar Bennett were on hand for the "Go! Green and Gold Training Camp" at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison on Saturday morning.

Driver and Bennett instructed children and parents alike on the training regimen that NFL players go through. The event was hosted by Physicians Plus Insurance Corporation as a chance to promote a healthy lifestyle and battle the ongoing problem of childhood obesity, WISC-TV reported.

Bennett said, "One thing we look for is a great attitude. You see them just trying their best and that's all you can really ask for. You know those kids are doing the best they can, they're having a great time doing it, exhibiting a great attitude, so it makes it fun. When they're having a good time, we're having a great time, so it makes it worthwhile."

Ten lucky Packer fans won autographed footballs at the event, WISC-TV reported.
