If Philip Rivers’ return to the NFL made Aaron Rodgers feel young again, facing Deion Sanders’ son this weekend will make Rodgers feel every bit of age-42. In a reminder of simply how long Rodgers has been in the NFL, he can check off another father-son combination faced Sunday. Assuming Rodgers plays against the Cleveland Browns, he’ll be opposite of QB Shedeur Sanders two decades after playing against his dad, Deion.
“I didn’t throw him a pick, thankfully, but he was playing in Baltimore in 2005 when we went down there Monday night, and I came in the game,” Rodgers told reporters earlier this week via a team-issued transcript of facing Deion.
