Footage emerges of Aaron Rodgers balling out during his rookie year for the Packers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers showed us right from the outset that he was going to be a special quarterback during his rookie season in the NFL. 

Aaron Rodgers was put in one of the most unenviable positions in professional sports when he came into the NFL. Not only was he taken in the first round, which is pressure enough regardless of who drafts you, and not only was it to one of the most storied franchises in the league in the Green Bay Packers, but he also had to follow in the footsteps of Brett Favre, one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game. 

It’s the equivalent of taking over Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson left, and as the past few years have shown, that task is far from easy to accomplish, but with the added pressure of it being your first ever job in management and having to learn a lot on the fly. 

When you add to that he was made to sit and wait for a number of years whilst Favre went back and forth with possibly retiring, and his first few years in the league were certainly a rocky start and could very easily have derailed him if he didn’t handle things correctly.

Luckily though, he did. 

Despite having to wait a few years to get make his mark on the league, he certainly made it count when he finally got a chance to shine.

With 55,360 passing yards and 449 touchdowns under his belt in a career, a Super Bowl back in 2010 and 4 NFL MVP awards during his career, including in both of the last two seasons, Rodgers has placed himself in the discussion as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and arguably the greatest player in the history of the Packers.

The MVP isn't going anywhere.
