It seems the veteran has been drooling over the experiences he had with his former quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Everyone is aware of the fact that Rodgers happens to be a special player. Although his Super Bowl titles don’t justify them, what he has achieved so far is magnificent. Something hard to imagine for an average quarterback in the league.

However, McAfee believes that Rodgers can’t be compared with the NBA legend. “He’s not Jordan. He’s not Jordan. No, he can’t do what Jordan did. He might be Jared Goff. That’s what Bad dog rooster says on the show,” he said.

However, Pat McAfee believes that to some extent, Watkins’ comment is the truth. Mahomes is a young gunslinger and has a long way ahead. But in the case of Rodgers, he is already an established player. In the coming ten years, if Mahomes can continue with the streak, McAfee believes the day won’t be long before he calls the Chiefs quarterback one of the best to play the sport.
