“He Kept Grudges Close to His Chest”: Green Bay Packers Teammate Once Ripped Aaron Rodgers for His “Self-Centered” Demeanor
Follow Us
Aaron Rodgers is a great player, a remarkable leader, and most importantly a jubilant teammate. His presence in the Green Bay Packers has brought huge success throughout his 17 years in the league. Rodgers has always been the pivotal part of the Packers both on and off the field.
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. He does not have the same relationship with each of his teammates. It came to light when his former teammate tight end Jermichael Finley got candid on his relationship with the veteran quarterback.

Though many of Rodgers’ teammates adore him, Finley had a contradicting opinion. During his six seasons (2008-2013) with the Packers star QB, the TE revealed that he never got Rodgers’ cellphone number. Furthermore, Finley did not view Rodgers as a good leader.
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.”
