Sunday night, for the first time ever, Aaron Rodgers will face the Green Bay Packers. He built his Hall of Fame career with the Packers as their starting quarterback from 2008-2022. However, before Rodgers took over, Brett Favre was the Packers’ franchise quarterback. Favre and Rodgers had similar exits from Green Bay. Both were still playing good football, but the Packers opted to draft a younger signal caller to eventually take over for them while they were still on the team.
Now, like Favre, Rodgers is set to face his former team. Rodgers’ former Packers teammate Clay Matthews III believes the quarterback will have a similar explosive performance as Favre once did.
