2008 and on: The Aaron Rodgers Era

  • 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.
