When Aaron Rodgers dropped like a stone through the first round of the 2005 draft, the Packers sat at pick number 24 and saw the greatest all-around player in the history of the league plummet into their laps.
The Packers selected a surprised Rodgers who began spending three miserable years behind arguably the most beloved Packer ever, Brett crawfish-frying-interception-tossing-look at him jump into the arms of his offensive linemen-it’s like the kid is still in him-Favre.
Once Favre departed Green Bay after heaving one last interception to the Giants in the NFC Championship, it became Rodgers’ team.
