He’s been their franchise quarterback for his entire NFL career—a total of 18 seasons—but the reason why Aaron Rodgers is leaving the Green Bay Packers is a simple example of how all good things must come to an end.
Rodgers began his football career at Butte College in 2002 before transferring to the University of California for the Golden Bears. He would set several career records during that time, including the lowest single-season and career interception rates. In 2005, he was drafted to play in the National Football League by the Green Bay Packers as a backup for Brett Favre for his first three years.
