Basketball is my first love before football.”

As Philly.com reported, during the 2017 season, Rodgers conversed with news reporters in Philadelphia and shed light on his sporting journey. “I was always drawn to being in positions where I had an impact on the game: point guard in basketball, pitcher in baseball, goalie or forward in soccer,” he shared.

Expanding on his perspective, Rodgers remarked, believes that kids can experience burnout by solely focusing on year-round AAU basketball or non-stop travel baseball. Football doesn’t quite follow the same all-year pattern, offering a different kind of challenge.
