Aaron Charles Rodgers was born December 2, 1983in Chico, California. is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). Rodgers was selected in the first round 24th overall of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Packers. Rodgers played college football while attending the University of California. In last September 9, 2011, night's 42-34 win over the New Orleans Saints the Packers looked completely in control every time Aaron Rodgers was under center and it looked startlingly like late-season form going back to last year's Super Bowl winning year. In other words, any other team that wants to be considered a contender is going to have to step up its game. There's no denying the devastating offensive power on display last night by the Green Bay Packers. hat's the most frustrating part for teams watching last night's NFL opening game, since the rich just got richer with their latest addition of second round choice Randall Cobb. The former Kentucky wide receiver was highly regarded but slipped almost through two complete rounds, and the Packers enjoyed the spoils last night with a 108-yard kick return for touchdown and a 32-yard touchdown catch at the end of the first quarter.
