Michael Irvin Claims Aaron Rodgers is Harder to Work With as Compared to Dak Prescott
Follow Us
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers parted ways with long-term head coach Mike McCarthy before the start of the 2019 NFL season. McCarthy was a major driving force behind Aaron’s rise to the top. He helped the Packers to lift the Super Bowl in 2011 by beating Pittsburgh Steelers.
In the absence of coach McCarthy, the Packers made their way to 2 consecutive NFC Championship Games under new boss Matt LaFleur. But they’ve failed to make it to the Super Bowl in successive years despite the dominance of Aaron Rodgers and Co.
The 37-year-old quarterback concluded the regular season with 4,299 passing yards and 48 passing TDs in 2020. In doing so, he bagged the league MVP award ahead of Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, Russell Wilson, and Patrick Mahomes.

“It ain’t like he’s the easiest person in the world to get along with, and Dak Prescott ain’t that, so they’ll be able to work together better here in Dallas than he worked with A-Rod. You can stop trying to use yesterday to paint today,” Irvin said on the show.
Prescott spent a long time on the sidelines since suffering a double compound ankle fracture in the Week 5 win over New York Giants last year. He underwent surgery almost immediately after.
