 Aaron Rodgers and the prank story

A former MVP, Brett Favre mentored many quarterbacks. One of them is none other than Aaron Rodgers. A successful pupil, Rodgers still admires the former for his immense contributions to his game. Rodgers first made his debut under Favre in 2008, and after that, he never looked back in his career. The duo shares mutual admiration and respect for each other. But back then, when A-Rod was a rookie, the noted coach too poked fun of him in a hilarious manner. 

“You take a rookie’s helmet and you put it on the table with a pen and say, ‘Please sign’. That’s, like, a real helmet they use, then when they go out to practice, all the signs, like everyone’s signature all over on,” said Tonyan about the prank.
