Kiln native Brett Favre once again spent NFL Draft Day in South Mississippi. And while he wasn’t wearing “jorts,” the NFL Hall of Fame member was in Hattiesburg on Thursday to pay tribute to a friend — Pascagoula native Jimmy Buffet.

Favre inducted Buffett into the Southern Miss Alumni Hall of Fame before the singer’s sold-out show at the Saenger Theater.

“Brett, don’t put that on eBay,” Buffett said as Favre walked the award off the stage.
