Aaron Rodgers is an optimist. He believes there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Despite five crushing defeats, the champion player is unnerved. He said Green Bay will bounce back in grand style and make the fans proud. 

Meanwhile, the 38 YO brushed aside concerns surrounding disunity in the Packers camp. The senior pro said the team is sticking together as one unit. He made the admission while taking part in the Pat McAfee show. I haven’t seen any negative clips. So, I’m assuming, that means we stick together in the post-game and nobody was kind of throwing shade on anybody else or passing the blame, which is important,” the superstar said, dismissing talks about the Packers’ morale.
