Aaron Charles Rodgers aw we know Aaron Rodger was born December 2, 1983 in Chico, California, U.S. Aaron Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the NFL. Aaron Rodgers was drafted in the first round (24th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers played college football at the University of California, Berkeley, where he set several school records, including lowest interception rate at 1.43%. Through Week 15 of the 2010-11 NFL season, Aaron Rodgers ' career passer rating (97.6) ranks second best all-time among NFL quarterbacks with at least 1,500 passing attempts, behind San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.
Aaron Rodgers is from Chico in Butte County, California. He attended Pleasant Valley High School in Chico, starting for two years at quarterback and garnering 4,421 passing yards. He set single-game records of 6 touchdowns and 440 all-purpose yards. Rodgers also set a single season record with 2,466 total yards.
Aaron Rodgers garnered little interest from Division I programs out of Pleasant Valley with only one offer, that of a walk-on, from the University of Illinois. He declined the Illinois invitation in order to attend Butte College. There Rodgers was discovered by California football head coach Jeff Tedford in 2003 as a freshman, while recruiting Garrett Cross, who attended Chico High School.
Aaron Rodgers was expected to be selected early in the 2005 NFL Draft and was thought of as the potential number one pick overall. He had posted impressive numbers as a junior with Cal throwing for 2,320 yards with a 67.5 completion rating. He had tied an NCAA record when he completed 23 consecutive passes against the eventual national champions, USC. He threw for 24 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions in his last college season, impressing many NFL scouts. His slip to the 24th choice became one of the biggest stories of the draft, though he was still the second quarterback taken in the draft. In addition to the fact that many teams drafting between second and 22rd positions had positional needs more pressing than quarterback, Rodgers' relatively short stature (6'2") may have contributed to his precipitous slide. Rodgers is one of six quarterbacks coached by Jeff Tedford to be drafted in the first round, joining Akili Smith, Trent Dilfer, Joey Harrington, and Kyle Boller.
In August 2005, Aaron Rodgers agreed to a reported five-year, $7.7 million deal that included $5.4 million in guaranteed money and had the potential to pay him as much as $24.5 million if all incentives and escalators were met.
Aaron Rodgers spent a disappointing 4–12 2005 season as the Packers' #2 quarterback behind Brett Favre. Rodgers had little playing time during the year, but did see time in a win against the New Orleans Saints and in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
When Favre decided to continue his career into the 2006 season, Aaron Rodgers was forced to continue in his role as the second quarterback on the depth chart.
On November 19, 2006, Rodgers broke his left foot against the New England Patriots in a 35–0 defeat at home while filling in Aaron Rodgers for an injured Brett Favre and missed the remainder of the 2006 season. Rodgers made a full recovery and was ready for the start of the 2007 season.
Weeks after an emotional interview with NBC's Andrea Kramer following the team's season-ending victory at Chicago, Favre announced he would stay with the Packers for the 2007 season, again postponing Rodgers' hopes of becoming the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback. Prior to the 2007 season, rumors surfaced about a potential trade involving Rodgers in which he would be traded to the Oakland Raiders for wide receiver Randy Moss. However, Moss was traded to the New England Patriots during the second day of the 2007 NFL Draft, and Rodgers stayed in Green Bay. The Oakland Raiders received a 4th-round draft choice in the trade for Aaron Rodger Moss.
Aaron Rodgers stepped in when Favre was injured in the second quarter against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football on November 29, 2007. Rodgers completed 18 passes for 201 yards, with no interceptions. He also threw his first touchdown pass, but was sacked three times. Aaron Rodgers brought the team back from a 17 point deficit to a 3 point deficit, but the Cowboys went on to win 37–27.
After leading his team to a 2-0 start, the Packers lost three of their next four games including back-to-back overtime losses. The two overtime defeats brought Aaron Rodger ' record in overtime games to 0-5. During Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons, Rodgers threw 35 passing attempts, putting him at 1,505 for his career - making him eligible for all Aaron Rodgers official NFL quarterback records as recognized by the NFL. In Week 14 of the season, Rodgers sustained his second concussion of the season. The rarely used Matt Flynn was put into the game as Rodgers' replacement. The Green Bay Packers lost the game 7-3 to the Detroit Lions.
