The ex-NFL star says he's flattered by ATL Falcons CB Robert Alford -- who strongly feels Favre could make a comeback after their workout in Louisiana this week ... but it ain't happening.
"I could still make the throws," Favre tells TMZ Sports ... "If they promise they won't hit me, I'll play."

Favre says he feels it's his "duty" to try and make the game better and safer for future NFL players and he's touring around with Sqor Sports in hopes of doing just that.
But, when it comes to his own family members playing the game he loves, Brett says he would "strongly discourage" his grandsons from playing football based on the medical information he has today.
"Yeah, you may make a good salary ... but what happens in the end if you have enough concussions? It may be a tragic end."
