It will be safe to say that the Green Bay Packers have exceeded expectations over the last four months. There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Wisconsin-based franchise in the build-up to the 2020 NFL season.

“It’s probably a little different conversation sitting here with the season I’ve had compared to the numbers maybe I had last year. But I’m not really worried about that at this point and I don’t think anything’s changed,” Rodgers said at a recent press meet.

So far, coach Matt LaFleur has managed to keep his star quarterback content. Rodgers also seems to have a special bond with a teammate, Davante Adams, who is having a brilliant season of his own. We’d hate to see A-Rod leave the Green and Yellow in 2021.
