Aaron Rodgers is an American football quarterback who plays for the National Football League’s (NFL) Green Bay Packers.
Early life
Aaron Charles Rodgers was born in Chico, California on December 2, 1983, to Darla Leigh and Edward Wesley Rodgers. His father is a chiropractor from Texas who played offensive lineman for the Chico State Wildcats from 1973 to 1976.
Rodgers attended Oak Manor Elementary School in Ukiah, California, after his family relocated there. He was featured on the front page of the Ukiah Daily Journal at the age of ten for his outstanding performance in a local basketball free throw competition.
Rodgers later moved to Beaverton, Oregon, where he attended Vose Elementary School and Whitford Middle School, as well as playing baseball in the Raleigh Hills Little League at shortstop, centre field, and pitcher.
The Rodgers family returned to Chico in 1997, and Aaron attended Pleasant Valley High School, where he started for two years and accumulated 4,421 passing yards. He set single-game records with six touchdowns and 440 yards all-purpose. In 2001, Rodgers set a single-season school record with 2,466 total yards.
Career
Rodgers attended the University of California, where he set several career passing records, including the lowest single-season and career interception rates. The Packers selected him in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
Rodgers became the Packers’ starting quarterback in 2008 after backing up Brett Favre for the first three years of his NFL career. In 2010, he led them to a Super Bowl XLV victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, earning him the Super Bowl MVP award.
Rodgers was named Associated Press Athlete of the Year in 2011, and the Associated Press named him league MVP in 2011, 2014, and 2020. Rodgers is third on the NFL’s all-time regular-season career passer rating list, with a regular-season career passer rating of over 100 (the first to ever have one), while also having the highest passer rating, best touchdown to interception ratio, and lowest passing interception percentage in NFL history throughout the entire 2010s decade.
Rodgers has the second best touchdown-to-interception ratio in NFL history at 4.63, the league’s lowest career interception percentage at 1.4 percent, and the highest single-season passer rating record of 122.5.
Many sportscasters and players regard Rodgers as one of the greatest and most talented quarterbacks of all time.
Personal life
Rodgers dated actress Olivia Munn from 2014 to 2017, and former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick from 2018 to 2020. Since the second half of 2020, he has been linked to actress Shailene Woodley. During his NFL MVP acceptance speech in February 2021, Rodgers thanked his “fiancée,” but did not specify with whom he was engaged.
Woodley announced her engagement to Rodgers on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on February 22.
Until 2017, Rodgers lived in Suamico, Wisconsin, a northern suburb of Green Bay about 10 miles from Lambeau Field. He also owns a home in the affluent beach community of Del Mar, California, 20 miles north of downtown San Diego, and spends the off-season in Los Angeles.
Rodgers has two brothers. Among his two brothers, Jordan, his younger brother is a quarterback at Vanderbilt. He had brief stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rodgers was raised as a Christian. However, as an adult, he claims that he no longer belongs to any organised religion.
