Aaron Rodgers has spent 18 years with the Green Bay Packers since coming into the NFL in 2005. And while he has achieved a lot with the franchise, the QB has struggled a bit this season. But he is still going strong at the age of 39, much like his predecessor, who retired at the age of 41. An NFL analyst has drawn four sharp similarities between the two quarterbacks, who are both legendary in their own right.
