Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, is one of the best NFL players of all time. In his 17-year-long career in the league, Rodgers has consistently been one of the best players in his position.

However, he wasn’t one of the most hyped quarterbacks coming into the league during his draft days. He played for the University of Califonia, Berkeley, during his college years. As a result, he was not among the top picks of his draft class.

However, when it comes to the draft of Aaron Rodgers, his appearance can never be forgotten. As a result, one of his teammates decided to come up with a hilarious comment on it. The comment was so funny that Tom Brady’s photo at the Draft Combine, appeared better than Aaron’s picture.

Aaron Rodgers has always been among the best-looking NFL players. As a result, many believe that a career in media or in the entertainment industry lies for the quarterback following his retirement.

However, during his Draft Combine, Aaron didn’t look that great. As the era was different back then, nobody had as much fashion sense as they have now. In his picture from Draft Combine, Aaron is seen rocking a buzz haircut and smiling as a young man would do during one of the biggest moments of his life.

Aaron’s current Packers teammate and WR Allen Lazard made a hilarious comment on Rodgers’ look. He called him “Lloyd Christmas,” a character portrayed by famous actor Jim Cary in his movie Dumb and Dumber.

The resemblance is quite uncanny, as both Aaron Rodgers and Jim Carey were seen rocking the buzz haircut. Both also smiled similarly. However, Aaron didn’t have a chipped tooth as Jim had in the movie.

As a result, only Aaron Rodgers, Allen Lazard, and Randall Cobb remain a part of the franchise ahead of the next season. The departure of Adams was a huge blow for the Packers.

However, Allen, Rodgers, and Cobb will look to lead the team, until they add another WR to the mix. The Packers, like always, are among the contenders to win the Super Bowl this season.
