Aaron Rodgers: The Quarterback Extraordinaire

Aaron Rodgers is the man, the myth, the legend. He’s a professional football player hailing from the good ol’ US of A. Currently, he’s the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in the National Football League (NFL). But before he became a pro, he played college football in California.

The Green Bay Packers drafted him during the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. And boy, has he made them proud. He’s got a Super Bowl win under his belt from the 2010 season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And he even won the Super Bowl MVP in that series. Talk about impressive!

But wait, there’s more. He’s been named the NFL MVP twice, in seasons 2011 and 2014. He’s also an 8-time Pro Bowler and the 2011 Associated Press Athlete of the Year. Basically, he’s a big deal.

Aaron Rodgers has led the NFL in passer rating twice. He also led the league in passing touchdowns in 2016. And get this, he’s only one of two quarterbacks to have an average of more than 100 passer rating in a regular season. The other quarterback to join him in this distinction is Russell Wilson. Impressive, right?

Born and raised in Chico, California, Rodgers comes from a football family. His father played football for the Chico State Wildcats. But get this, Rodgers wasn’t exactly a football prodigy in high school. He didn’t attract a lot of Division I programs in the NCAA. But look at him now, he’s a superstar!
