Aaron Rodgers entered the NFL as the 24th pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. He was the 2nd quarterback to be drafted after Alex Smith.

He joined Green Bay Packers as a potential understudy to the great Brett Favre. The California-born quarterback had to wait for two years before making his NFL debut.

However, Green Bay legend and the man who mentored Rodgers during his early NFL days, Brett Favre, warned the people in Wisconsin, that if Rodgers makes up his mind to leave, there’d be no stopping him.

“Knowing Aaron, and I think I know him fairly well, if he has a grudge, whether it be against the organization or a player or arch-rival, family, friends, he ain’t budging.

“I don’t see him coming back if this is not resolved, whatever the issue is. Even if it’s resolved but he feels like they have one up on him, he ain’t going to play. Knowing Aaron, he would sit,” Favre said via WISN-TV in Milwaukee.

The Broncos boast of a strong offensive roster including the likes of Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy. Noah Fant, Melvin Gordon, Albert O, and even KJ Hamler. The addition of Rodgers may help take this team to new heights in the coming months.

In addition to that, a defense featuring Von Miller, Bradley Chubb, Kyle Fuller, and Justin Simmons puts the Broncos in a strong position to make a Super Bowl return. They’ve also brought in the highly rated Alabama CB Patrick Surtain II in the 2021 NFL Draft.
