  • Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback born in Chico, California, on the 2nd of December 1983, spent several hours of the 2005 NFL draft waiting to hear his name. He had expected the San Francisco 49ers to call. They were the team he supported and grew up near, and they held the number one pick. San Francisco chose Alex Smith out of Utah instead. Rodgers kept sliding past teams with more pressing needs, until the Green Bay Packers took him with the 24th pick. Green Bay was choosing the eventual replacement for Brett Favre, and Rodgers later spoke of the angst and restlessness of that wait. The NFL Network would eventually rank his fall as the number one entry on its Top 10 Draft Day Moments.

    How does a player who slips that far end up first on the NFL's all-time list for regular-season career passer rating? Why did so few programs want him before the draft? What does a young quarterback learn while standing behind a famous starter? And what did the road cost him in injuries, in playoff heartbreak, and in the words he chose along the way?

  • Edward Rodgers, a Texas-born chiropractor who played offensive line at Chico State from 1973 to 1976, gave his sons Luke, Aaron and Jordan one firm piece of advice. He told them not to drink and not to party in college, because he felt it had limited him in sports. Aaron took the advice to heart. The family first lived in Ukiah, California, where Aaron attended Oak Manor Elementary School. At the age of ten, he made the front page of the Ukiah Daily Journal for a top performance in a local basketball free throw contest. In Beaverton, Oregon, he played Little League baseball in the Raleigh Hills league at shortstop, center field and pitcher. The family returned to Chico in 1997.

    At Pleasant Valley High School, Rodgers started two years at quarterback and piled up 4,421 passing yards. He set single-game records of six touchdowns and 440 all-purpose yards. In 2001 he set a school record with 2,466 total yards in a single season. He graduated in the spring of 2002 with a 1310 on the SAT and an A-minus average.

    Despite those 4,421 passing yards, Division I programs showed little interest. In a 2011 interview with E:60, Rodgers blamed his unimposing build, which was 5 ft 10 in and 165 lb in high school. He wanted to play for Bobby Bowden at Florida State and was rejected. The University of Illinois offered only a chance to compete for a scholarship as a walk-on. He declined, and weighed quitting football for baseball. He also considered giving up on professional sports altogether and going to law school after his undergraduate degree.

    Butte College in Oroville, a junior college about 15 miles from Chico, gave him his next chance. In his freshman season he threw 26 touchdowns, and Butte went 10-1, won the NorCal Conference championship and finished ranked No. 2 nationally. California Golden Bears head coach Jeff Tedford came to recruit Butte tight end Garrett Cross and noticed Rodgers instead. Tedford was surprised to learn that no one had recruited him earlier. Strong high school grades let Rodgers transfer to Berkeley after one year of junior college rather than the usual two.

    Rodgers became Cal's starter in the fifth game of the 2003 season, against Illinois, the only Division I team that had offered him a chance out of high school. Cal won. The Golden Bears went 7-3 in his starts. His second start came against No. 3 USC, and Cal led 21-7 at halftime before an injury sent Rodgers to the sideline. Reggie Robertson took over, and Cal won 34-31 in triple overtime. Rodgers threw for 394 yards and was named game MVP in the Insight Bowl against Virginia Tech. His 1.43 percent interception rate that season was a school record low.

    A single late drive defined his 2004 season. Cal was 10-1 and ranked in the top five when it lost 23-17 at No. 1 USC. In that game Rodgers set a school record for consecutive completions and a Cal single-game completion percentage of 85.3. Cal reached first and goal with 1:47 left. Rodgers threw incomplete, then Manuel Wright sacked him. A third-down incompletion and a stuffed run play ended the game. Rodgers said it was "frustrating that we couldn't get the job done."

    He finished 2004 with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions, led the Pac-10 with a 66.1 percent completion rate, and placed ninth in Heisman Trophy voting. Texas was picked over Cal for a Rose Bowl berth, and the Bears lost the Holiday Bowl to Texas Tech, 45-31. Rodgers holds the Cal career record for lowest interception rate, at 1.95 percent. He then chose to skip his senior season. Tedford would see six of his quarterbacks drafted in the first round: Trent Dilfer, Akili Smith, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Kyle Boller and Rodgers.

  • In August 2005, Rodgers agreed to a reported five-year contract worth $7.7 million, with $5.4 million guaranteed. Incentives and escalators could raise it as high as $24.5 million. He spent his rookie season as the backup to Brett Favre. His first NFL game came in the opening preseason matchup with the San Diego Chargers, when he replaced Favre. Rodgers completed two of seven passes and was sacked twice. He ended the preseason by converting two third downs and throwing a touchdown pass to tight end Ben Steele against the Tennessee Titans.

    The regular season offered almost nothing. Rodgers played the fourth quarter of a 52-3 win over the New Orleans Saints and completed his first career pass to fullback Vonta Leach for no gain. On the 19th of December 2005, he entered a 48-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at the end of the third quarter. He completed eight of 15 passes for 65 yards and threw an interception.

    Mike Sherman was fired after that losing season, and Mike McCarthy arrived as head coach. McCarthy put Rodgers through what he called quarterback school, six hours a day, several times a week. The work targeted hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity and mechanics. McCarthy also lowered Rodgers' release point, moving it from beside the ear hole of his helmet to a spot further below, for a smoother release.

    The 2006 preseason went well, with 22 completions in 38 attempts for 323 yards and three touchdowns across four games. The regular season did not. Rodgers stepped in briefly for an injured Favre on the 2nd of October against the Philadelphia Eagles. On the 19th of November, he broke his left foot filling in for Favre in a 35-0 home loss to the New England Patriots. That ended his season. Favre then announced he would stay for 2007, postponing Rodgers' hopes of starting again.

    Before the 2007 draft, rumors had Rodgers going to the Oakland Raiders for wide receiver Randy Moss. Moss was traded to the Patriots on the second day of the draft, and Rodgers stayed in Green Bay. His best chance came on Thursday Night Football on the 29th of November 2007, when Favre was hurt in the second quarter against the Dallas Cowboys. Rodgers completed 18 passes for 201 yards with no interceptions and threw his first touchdown pass. He was also sacked three times. Green Bay trailed by 17 points, and Rodgers cut the gap to three, but Dallas won 37-27. Favre's retirement announcement on the 4th of March 2008 would soon change everything.

  • Favre decided to return from retirement, but the Packers traded him to the New York Jets, and the 2008 job belonged to Rodgers. In his debut as a starter, Green Bay beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-19 at Lambeau Field. It was the first regular-season start by anyone other than Favre since 1992. Rodgers threw for 178 yards and accounted for two touchdowns, one passing and one rushing. In his second start, he threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns against the Lions and won the FedEx Air award.

    Derrick Brooks of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended Rodgers' streak of 157 passes without an interception in the fourth week. The streak was the third longest in franchise history, behind Bart Starr at 294 and Favre at 163. Rodgers also suffered a severe shoulder sprain in that game but kept starting. He could not win a close game in 2008 despite seven opportunities. On the 31st of October 2008, he signed a six-year, $65 million extension through the 2014 season. He finished with 4,038 yards, 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions, still his highest interception total in a season as of 2025. The Packers went 6-10 and missed the playoffs.

    In the 2009 opener, Rodgers threw a fifty-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings with about a minute left to beat the Chicago Bears 21-15. It was his first comeback win. His 988 yards in October earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Month. After a 4-4 start and a 38-28 loss to the previously winless Buccaneers, Green Bay won five straight, and finished 11-5. The Packers scored 461 points, breaking the franchise record of 456 from the 1996 Super Bowl team. Rodgers became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards in each of his first two years as a starter.

    The playoffs brought the Arizona Cardinals and Kurt Warner. Rodgers' first pass was intercepted by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. He recovered to complete 28 of 42 passes for 423 yards and four touchdowns, all in a second-half comeback. Warner completed 29 of 33 for 379 yards and five touchdowns. Rodgers fumbled on a controversial play in overtime, and Karlos Dansby returned it for the winning touchdown. The 51-45 Cardinals victory was the highest-scoring playoff game in NFL history.

    The 2010 season began with a 2-0 start, then three losses in four games, including back-to-back overtime defeats. Rodgers fell to 0-5 in overtime games. By midseason he had thrown nine interceptions, compared with seven in all of 2009. He suffered a second concussion in Week 14, and Matt Flynn replaced him in a 7-3 loss to the Lions. Rodgers then missed the next game against the Patriots, ending a run of 45 consecutive starts.

    At 8-6, Green Bay had to win its last two games. Rodgers completed 25 of 37 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns against the New York Giants, his first regular-season 400-yard game. A 10-3 win over the Bears sent the Packers into the playoffs at 10-6 as the No. 6 seed. They beat the Eagles 21-16, then routed the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons 48-21, the most points in Packers postseason history. Rodgers completed 31 of 36 for 366 yards and four touchdowns in Atlanta. Chicago fell 21-14 in the NFC Championship Game.

    In Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-25 win and was named Super Bowl MVP. Across the postseason he threw for 1,094 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions, with two more rushing touchdowns. No other player has passed for at least 900 yards and run for at least two touchdowns in one postseason. Voted 11th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 list of 2011, he would top the 2012 version.

  • The 2011 lockout meant many teams scheduled unofficial offseason workouts, but Rodgers and the Packers did not. They opened the season by beating the Saints, who had scheduled workouts, 42-34. Rodgers threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Afterward he told reporters, "I was going to ask myself, what would have happened if we had offseason workouts? I mean, could we have started any faster and scored more points tonight?"

    In a 49-23 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 4, Rodgers threw for 408 yards and four touchdowns and ran for two more scores. No other quarterback has done all of that in one game. In Week 6, he hit Jordy Nelson on a career-long 93-yard touchdown pass. Green Bay started 13-0, and a 19-14 upset by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15 ended a 19-game winning streak, the second longest in NFL history.

    Rodgers finished 2011 with 4,643 passing yards, 45 touchdown passes and six interceptions. His passer rating of 122.5 is the highest for a single season in NFL history. He posted a rating above 100 in thirteen games, twelve of them in a row, both records. He received 48 of 50 MVP votes, and the other two went to Drew Brees. ESPN ranked it the third greatest passing season of all time in 2013 and called it the most efficient. In the season finale, Rodgers rested and helped Matt Flynn call plays as Flynn threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns.

    In Week 10 of 2014, Rodgers played one drive in the second half against the Bears and still threw for six touchdowns in a 55-14 win. Only one other player, Daryle Lamonica in 1969, had thrown six touchdown passes in a first half. That day Rodgers also became the first quarterback with ten touchdown passes against one team in a season. A week later he broke Tom Brady's record of 288 consecutive home attempts without an interception, and ended the year at 512. He won his second MVP award with 31 votes.

    In Week 14 of 2018, against the Falcons, Rodgers converted his 359th straight pass without an interception, breaking another Brady record. The streak ended at 402 attempts when Chicago free safety Eddie Jackson intercepted him. That season only 0.335 percent of his passes were intercepted, an NFL record, and he threw 25 touchdowns to two interceptions.

    A new head coach, Matt LaFleur, took over in 2019, and the offense leaned on play-action and running back Aaron Jones. In Week 7 against the Raiders, Rodgers posted a perfect passer rating of 158.3, a first for a Packers quarterback. He completed 25 of 31 passes for 429 yards and five touchdowns.

    In 2020 he threw 48 touchdown passes with five interceptions, a franchise record. He passed 50,000 career yards in Week 12, and his 400th career touchdown pass went to Davante Adams in Week 13. In 2021 he threw 37 touchdowns with four interceptions. His 443rd career touchdown pass passed Favre for the Packers record. That season earned him a fourth MVP award and his place alongside Peyton Manning as the only players with at least four. He is the fifth player to win consecutive MVPs.

    For his career, he is the first quarterback with a regular-season passer rating above 100. His touchdown-to-interception ratio of 4.34 is the best in NFL history, and his 1.4 percent interception rate is the league's second lowest. He had the highest passer rating of any quarterback across the entire 2010s. He has also won the Best NFL Player ESPY Award four times. Yet the 2011 team that scored a franchise-record 560 points would not survive its first playoff game.

  • The 2011 Packers finished 15-1, the fifth team in NFL history to do so. In the Divisional Round, they lost 37-20 to the eventual champion New York Giants. The receivers dropped six passes, and Rodgers' final throw was an interception. Green Bay became the only 15-1 team in NFL history to fail to win a playoff game. The 2014 season ended in Seattle. The Packers led the Seahawks 19-7 with just over five minutes left, but a special teams error on an onside kick opened the door. Seattle took a 22-19 lead. Rodgers drove Green Bay to a tying field goal with time running out, then watched Seattle win the overtime coin toss and score.

    In 2015, Rodgers threw a 61-yard Hail Mary to Richard Rodgers on the final play against the Detroit Lions, a moment dubbed "The Miracle in Motown." In the Divisional Round against the Arizona Cardinals, he threw a 41-yard Hail Mary to Jeff Janis as time expired, sending the game to overtime. This time Arizona won 26-20.

    Conference championships were harder still. After the 2019 season, he lost a third consecutive NFC Championship Game, 37-20 to the 49ers, when Richard Sherman intercepted him late. A year later, a 31-26 loss to the Buccaneers made him 1-4 in conference title games, the first quarterback in NFL history to lose four in a row. He was sacked five times and constantly pressured. In 2021 the 49ers beat Green Bay again, 13-10, in a game haunted by special teams mistakes.

    Injuries took their toll as well. In Week 9 of 2013, Shea McClellin sacked Rodgers at home against the Bears, fracturing his left clavicle. Green Bay had been 5-2. Without him they went winless over the next five weeks and sank to 5-6-1. Speculation about his return became a weekly spectacle, and the team rallied to 7-7-1 behind re-acquired backup Matt Flynn. Head coach Mike McCarthy announced on the 26th of December that Rodgers would start the finale at Soldier Field.

    Trailing 28-27 with under a minute left, facing a 4th and 8 from the 48-yard line, Rodgers found Randall Cobb for a 48-yard touchdown. Cobb was himself playing his first game since breaking his leg in Week 6. The win clinched the NFC North, and the play earned the GMC Never Say Never Award. A week later, San Francisco beat Green Bay 23-20 on a last-second field goal, and Rodgers recorded a career playoff low of 177 passing yards.

    In Week 6 of 2017, a hit from Anthony Barr against the Vikings fractured his right collarbone. Surgery came on the 19th of October, and doctors inserted a total of 13 screws to stabilize it. He was placed on injured reserve, then returned in Week 15 against the Panthers. He threw three interceptions in a 31-24 loss and went back on injured reserve four days later, after Green Bay was eliminated.

    The 2018 regular season finale ended early for Rodgers with a concussion. Questioned about playing in a meaningless game, he replied, "That's just not the way I lead, and I'm super-competitive, and I want to be out there with the guys and I look forward to being out there."

  • After the Packers lost to the Lions 19-7 in the third week of 2014, falling to 1-2 for the third consecutive season, Rodgers told fans and reporters, "R-E-L-A-X. Relax. We're going to be OK." Green Bay won its next four games, with Rodgers throwing 13 touchdowns and no interceptions in that stretch.

    In 2016, after a Week 11 loss to the Washington Redskins dropped the Packers to 4-6, he said, "I feel like we can run the table, I really do." Doubters were plentiful. Green Bay then won six games in a row to finish the season.

    Not every moment was calm. In Week 9 of 2015, after an interception with 1:47 left against the Panthers, Rodgers threw down a Microsoft Surface tablet on the sideline. The Packers lost 37-29. In 2012, he lost a bet with the music group Boyz II Men after a 30-22 opening loss to the 49ers, and had to wear an Alex Smith jersey at practice. Had Green Bay won, the group would have sung the national anthem at a Lambeau home game.

    In Week 6 of 2021, Rodgers sealed a 24-14 win over the Bears with a six-yard touchdown run. He yelled at the Chicago crowd, "All my f***ing life I own you! I still own you!" The remark was heavily discussed, and two months later, he said he had no regrets about it.

    On the 3rd of November 2021, Rodgers was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list. During the preseason, asked if he had been vaccinated, he had answered, "Yeah, I'm immunized." He had not actually been vaccinated. Instead, he had received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor. While unvaccinated, he attended parties with teammates without protective equipment and appeared unmasked at several postgame press conferences. The league fined him $14,650 and fined the Packers $300,000. Rodgers missed 10 days and a game against the Chiefs, then returned on the 14th of November to beat the Seahawks 17-0.

  • On the 26th of April 2013, the Packers and Rodgers agreed to a five-year, $110 million extension that made him the highest-paid player in NFL history. On the 29th of August 2018, he signed a four-year, $134 million extension that included a $57.5 million signing bonus. In March 2022, he confirmed he would return to Green Bay for the 2022 season after talk that he might retire or demand a trade. Reports said the sides had agreed to a four-year, $200 million extension. Rodgers denied them on Twitter.

    In 2023, Green Bay traded Rodgers to the New York Jets, where he spent two seasons. The Jets released him after the 2024 season. He then signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers and led them to a division title that same year. Pittsburgh was the team he had beaten in Super Bowl XLV for his only championship.

Common questions

Why did Aaron Rodgers fall to the 24th pick in the 2005 NFL draft?

Many teams picking between second and 23rd had positional needs more pressing than quarterback. The 49ers, whom Rodgers expected to pick him with the first selection, took Alex Smith instead.

How did Rodgers end up at the University of California, Berkeley?

After little interest from Division I programs, he played one year at Butte College. Cal coach Jeff Tedford noticed him while recruiting a Butte tight end, and Rodgers transferred after one year thanks to his strong high school grades.

How many MVP awards has Aaron Rodgers won?

He has won four AP MVP awards, for the 2011, 2014-2020 and 2021 seasons. He is the fifth player to win consecutive MVPs.

Which teams has Rodgers played for in the NFL?

He played for the Green Bay Packers, was traded to the New York Jets in 2023 for two seasons, and then signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers after the Jets released him.
