Former Super Bowl Winner Has Special Words of Appreciation for Aaron Rodgers

Published 10/03/2020, 6:46 PM EDT

There was a lot of noise surrounding veteran NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers ahead of the 2020 NFL season. The arrival of Jordan Love at Lambeau Field, his breakup with long-time partner Danica Patrick and other off-field issues led to serious doubts about his attitude heading into the season already marred by the COVID-19 crisis.

However, three weeks into the 2020 NFL season, it’s safe to say that Mr. Rodgers has effectively silenced his doubters. Rodgers has thrown for 887 yards with a pass completion percentage of 67 and nine touchdowns in three games. He is an early front-runner for this year’s NFL MVP award along with Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes.

However, this former NFL quarterback believes Rodgers is way ahead of the pack and is already an all-time NFL legend.
