GREEN BAY — Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Graham first hatched the idea years ago, at the annual Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
While Rodgers completed more passes to himself (one, for a 15-yard loss) than he did to Graham (zero) that afternoon in Honolulu in January 2012, the Green Bay Packers quarterback and then-New Orleans Saints tight end made a different sort of connection that week.
And now, six years later, their pie-in-the-sky, wouldn’t-it-be-fun thought has become a reality.
“I’ve been a fan of Jimmy’s for a long time,” Rodgers said during an interview with 102.9 FM The Hog in Milwaukee last week, during the annual Bob & Brian Radiothon to benefit Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.
