Packers' Matt LaFleur sets the record straight on Aaron Rodgers-Jordan Love myth

As the Green Bay Packers prepare to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday night in prime time, the biggest storyline surrounding this highly anticipated matchup is naturally Aaron Rodgers taking on the team that employed him for 18 years for the first and likely only time in his career.

Rodgers, of course, was taken in the first round of the 2005 draft at a time when Brett Favre was still playing at an extremely high level, which is why Rodgers sat on the bench for three years before becoming Green Bay's starting quarterback. And those were three rocky years for Rodgers, as Favre really had no interest in serving as a mentor to the man who was brought in to one day take his job.
