The NFL may be keeping Tim Boyle employed as part of a morale-boosting social experiment to encourage fans to follow their dreams of playing in the pros, because the former Green Bay Packers quarterback is now on his eighth professional NFL team at age 30 despite no success at this level.
It would be one thing if Boyle's presence on an NFL roster could be explained solely by his kinship with Aaron Rodgers. However, Boyle has now made it to eight different NFL teams, five of which have no connection to Rodgers or Packers coach Luke Getsy.
