2024 Pre-Season Rank #1, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #1, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #2, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #2, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #3. PEAK PERIOD: 2008-12.
The last two rounds around the sun have been fascinating for Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers, who has dated Olivia Munn, Danica Patrick, and Shailene Woodley, was even considered the permanent host of Jeopardy. It looked like he would cross over into non-sports stardom, but that came crashing down, and he has been involved in more Hollywood feuds (see Jimmy Kimmel) and was thrust into the culture war when it was revealed that he did not get the COVID-19 vaccine and espoused conspiracy theories. He became much less marketable than he used to be, and there are circles where he is at the top of the list of the most hated athletes.
In 2023, after a long and fruitful career with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers was injured on the first drive with his new team, the New York Jets, and he was underwhelming when healthy in 2024.
None of this will matter.
Regardless of how Rodgers performs in 2025, for his third team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, no active player has the statistical resume that he has. No multi-time MVP has ever failed to enter Canton, and he has four. Throw in the Super Bowl win with the Packers, and it is an open-and-shut case, regardless of what happens next.
Notably, a good year will see Rodgers reach more milestones. He is six Touchdowns away from passing Brett Favre for fourth all-time, and 1,131 Yards will take him over Ben Roethlisberger (64,088) and Philip Rivers (63,440) for fifth all-time.
The circus comes to the Steel City, and we can’t wait to see it play out.
