Aaron Rodgers has been a target of criticism over the last two years due to his time with the New York Jets being a failure. However, since coming to Pittsburgh, the vibe has been much different than expected. Rodgers has been a great teammate by all accounts and something of a leader to many young players.
Marshawn Lynch and Rodgers both played at the University of California in 2004. According to Lynch, Rodgers’ strong leadership qualities were evident then, especially after Rodgers didn’t go “Beast Mode” on Lynch when he made a mistake during practice.
“I had the pleasure of playing with Aaron Rodgers,” Lynch said last week on his Get Got With Marshawn Lynch podcast.
