GREEN BAY — Aaron Rodgers was a 4-year-old San Francisco 49ers fan the last time a quarterback was named first-team All-Pro by The Associated Press and lost the NFL MVP award outright to another quarterback.
So unless the Green Bay Packers quarterback has the same thing happen to him as happened to one of his childhood idols, Joe Montana, in 1987, Rodgers will be receiving his fourth NFL MVP award at the annual NFL Honors event on Feb. 12, the eve of Super Bowl LVI.
Rodgers received 34 votes to earn the first-team nod over Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, who got the other 16 votes from the 50-member national media panel assembled by the AP.
