Now that he's a former NFL player, Donald Driver is allowed to play fantasy football, and he's loving every second of it.

The Green Bay Packers legend played 14 seasons, all while calling Lambeau Field his home, and if he could, he probably would have picked himself plenty of times for his fantasy team.

Driver had seven seasons of at least 1,000 yards, including six straight from 2004 to 2009.

Now, he gets to feel like a general manager.

"As a player, we don’t get the opportunity to play fantasy football. Once you get done playing the game, you kind of get into the mindset that you become your own GM," Driver told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "I always wanted to do it as a player, but couldn’t do it. So, now, I have this opportunity to actually do it now as a former player.

"I love it that I get to be the GM. No one’s trying to pick me up, I get to pick everybody else up and trade and do all those good things."

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

Driver has partnered with IBM, whose Watson app has been helping ESPN fantasy participants make trades and draft players the last seven years.

Fantasy used to be kept score manually, and fans simply had to use box scores and eye tests to decide who to draft. Now, there is plenty of technology to see who should be traded, cut, drafted, benched and started.
