Aaron Rodgers All Set to Overtake Iconic Green Bay Packers Legend Brett Favre
Follow Us
It’s been almost 15 years since a young starry-eyed Aaron Rodgers arrived in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers drafted Rodgers in the 2005 NFL Draft event. The California-born youngster was the #24 overall pick. He was brought to Wisconsin to play alongside the legendary Brett Favre.
Favre, an enigma in himself, joined the Packers in 1992. He went on to establish himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the league. Between 1992-2007, Favre won the Super Bowl and three NFL MVP awards while playing for the Packers.
Aaron Rodgers took over as a starter in 2008 after Favre left to join the Minnesota Vikings. Replacing Favre was no small task. But after spending two years under his tutelage, Rodgers hit the road running in his debut season.

In 298 starts for the Packers, Favre amassed a total of 186 wins. A-Rod needs another 67 wins to match that tally. Based on his current MVP-level form, Rodgers could easily reach that mark over the next five years. That is, of course, if he intends to remain with the Packers.
