Most of the time players look up to him for his exceptional athleticism and authority in games. However, sometimes that might not be the case.

Former teammate Jermichael Finley slammed Aaron Rodgers for his self-centered demeanor

“In my opinion, he’s a different guy,” Finley told Bleacher Report. “To tell you the truth, it was all about his game and his stats in my opinion … He kept grudges close to his chest … I just don’t think he was a natural-born leader. He wasn’t put on Earth to lead.”

“Aaron Rodgers is so scared of what guys are going to say that he doesn’t say nothing at all. He doesn’t get vocal. He goes into his little shell. … He’s real self-centered [and] very sensitive. If he’s joking with a guy and the guy comes back at him, he doesn’t take it too well,” Finley continued. “Because of what position he’s in, he thinks guys are supposed to bow down to him I guess.”
