Aaron Rodgers has been in the news since the first day of this year’s NFL draft.

“I would think each year, and Aaron and I have talked a fair amount the last few years and several times since the draft. Umm, there’s a lot of stress right now because there’s this uncertainty of ‘whether or not we’re playing, what does it look like? Am I going to have all my guys?…you know, total new, uncharted territory for everybody, even the fans.”
“I think, from a stress standpoint, after last year which was a great year for Aaron, umm, they almost got to the Super Bowl with nobody….Now he’s at the age I was when we drafted him. 35-36, in that area. You know you start realizing that ‘the end is much closer than what you pictured when you came in.’ He finally got a little dose of, you know, a new regime,” Favre said in the Complex’s Load Management podcast.

“When Aaron was drafted, I was the only guy from that team from initial time that I had joined the Packers and I say that from a coach and a player standpoint… I say that because sometimes I felt like the odd man out even though I’d been here longer than everyone.”
“I felt like the new guy, the odd guy. He’s starting to get a little sense of that, you know, new coach comes in, drafts a young quarterback. By no means does Aaron feel threatened by that but it’s just kind of a slap in the face like…you look around and you go ‘All the guys I started with are gone’,” Favre concluded.
