GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ten years and 15 playoff starts ago, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was one of the young guys, part of the group of Green Bay Packers who wanted to help players like Charles Woodson get back to the Super Bowl or give guys like Chad Clifton and Donald Driver their first trip.
Clifton, Driver and Woodson were among the Packers' thirtysomethings running out of time and opportunities.
Rodgers & Co. succeeded, and they all left as winners of Super Bowl XLV.
Rodgers tried again and again for Julius Peppers during his three-year run in Green Bay.
