The Packers began their 2008 season with their 2005 first-round draft pick, quarterback Aaron Rodgers, under center, as the first QB other than Favre to start for the Packers in 16 years.
Described as "extremely cool under pressure," Aaron Rodgers is very athletic and throws perhaps the tightest spiral in the NFL. He has played like an elite quarterback, and was a favourite to win the MVP Award going into the 2010-2011 season.
The Packers have very high hopes of reaching many Super Bowls under Rodgers and an imposing defense that ranked #1 in 2009.
