Former Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen doesn't want to disappoint Aaron Rodgers as a rookie with the New York Jets

Braelon Allen, growing up in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, spent nearly his whole life watching Aaron Rodgers play for the Green Bay Packers.

He was 1 years old when the Packers drafted Rodgers in 2005. Rodgers would go on to play 19 seasons with the Packers in Green Bay, just a little more than an hour away from Allen's hometown.

Now, the 20-year-old Allen will be teammates with the former Packers quarterback in New York.

Allen, who had three productive seasons with the Wisconsin Badgers, was a fourth-round pick by the Jets during last week's NFL draft; Rodgers, 40, will continue his Hall of Fame career with the Jets after missing all but four plays during his first season in New York with a torn Achilles.
