Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre said there's a stark difference between when his former organization drafted future MVP Aaron Rodgers in 2005 when he was the starter than when the team selected Jordan Love in the 2020 NFL draft with Rodgers still on the roster.

"I think when I look at this situation with Aaron and my situation, yes, they're very, very similar," Favre said told The Wisconsin State-Journal.
