At Butte College, he started his career as a football player, and then he moved to California and joined the California Golden Bears. Recently, a video of him from Butte college surfaced, where he was giving an interview to a reporter.

In the video, Rodgers was talking to a reporter after a game and when asked about a particular play, he said, We have been running that play about three times already… I read the defense, had a lot of time… that was a big play for us I think.

Notably, young Rodgers was moving to Berkeley, California pretty soon. So the reporter asked him about that and in reply, he said, Pretty sure right now. But you know it’s been fun. Butte has been everything I have ever hoped, and even more.

Despite having a great career with the Packers in the NFL, Rodgers has been struggling this season. Also, he has had many injury concerns throughout the season, including a finger and hip injury.

And now, the season looks almost over for the Packers with 5 wins and 8 losses. This week will be a bye week for Rodgers and his team. Then, on 19th December, they will play against the Rams, which will be a must-win game for the Green Bay side.
