Aaron Rodgers has been a Green Bay Packers man for the entirety of his NFL career. Such a long association is bound to witness a few moments of falling out. As a result, even Rodgers and the Packers had a bitter moment in 2020, but new HC Matt LaFleur and Rodgers worked hard to repair the relationship. The QB recently opened up about his relationship with LaFleur and what he did to repair the damage.

The relationship between Aaron and the Packers fractured after the team signed Jordan Love in the NFL draft of 2020. This did not sit well with Rodgers and his future at the Packers looked bleak. However, the new HC Matt LaFleur and Rodgers built a strong connection. It led to the 38-year-old signing a gigantic deal worth $150 million paid over three years.

Speaking about his connection with LaFleur, Rodgers said, “That time we spent on Zoom, that was very meaningful to me. To feel more like a collaborator was really important, and I did some things off the field as well to help with our relationship. And the more time we spent together, the better that our connection was. It was never bad. It just went from coach-player to friend.”

Further, Rodgers added, “When you get to know somebody off the field, you know how they tick and what makes them go. You see everything from a different perspective. I know Matt’s a grinder. Matt’s a very creative person. He’s very driven, very hard on himself.” The back-to-back NFL MVP has nothing but praise for his head coach.
