Today, we’ll feature a man who has done it all in the National Football League. He’s a Super Bowl Champion and was the MVP of Super Bowl XLV; a four-time NFL MVP, 10-time Pro Bowler and was the fastest quarterback to throw for 400 career touchdowns. He’s entering his 18th season all in green and gold, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Humble Beginnings: Once upon a time, Aaron Rodgers was projected to be a top draft pick, but fell in the 1st round (24th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. He then had to wait 3 years behind Brett Favre to become a starter. Rodgers’ humble beginnings paid off.

Legendary Legacy: Following in the footsteps of the likes of Favre and Bart Starr, Rodgers built his own legend at Lambeau and has amassed a resume worthy of being mentioned as the greatest Packers quarterback of all-time and a top-5 quarterback in NFL history. He’s a bad man.

Future Outlook: As great as Rodgers is on the field, he’s a controversial figure off of it. He’s turned off some collectors, but it’s hard to ignore his accomplishments. Plus, it appears he has a future in TV after football, which will keep him in the hobby spotlight.

Grade: 9.5 = Legend (Platinum)
