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.

Is Rodgers going on the same trajectory as his predecessor Brett Favre? NFL analyst Colin Cowherd sure thinks so.

Are Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre similar?

Colin Cowherd is a big name when it comes to NFL analysis. And he says that for him, the Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is becoming what Brett Favre was  at the end of his career. Speaking on his ‘The Colin Cowherd Podcast’, he compared the two Packers legends. And he came up with four sharp similarities between them.

“I think it’s interesting how Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre have, largely in their playing career at least, become the same person. Difficult, threatening retirement, undecided, not willing to embrace new coaching styles,” Cowherd said. The analyst then gave his reasons that made him think about the issue.
