Aaron Rodgers still gets 'nostalgic' at 2005 draft fall to Packers
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers still thinks about it around this time each year. With the annual nonstop lead-up coverage of the NFL draft, how could he not?
On Thursday night in Chicago, another former University of California quarterback, Jared Goff, won’t have to wait nearly as long to hear his name as Rodgers waited in New York City in 2005. Goff is expected to go No. 1 to the Los Angeles Rams; if he doesn’t, he’ll go second to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rodgers, of course, fell from being the potential No. 1 overall pick all the way to No. 24 overall, landing with the Green Bay Packers.
