There are many fans of the game, as well as pundits and former players, who may have an issue with Aaron Rodgers when it comes to his off-field comments, but no one can deny the talent that the veteran quarterback undoubtedly possesses.
Prior to last season, the experienced campaigner looked as if he might be calling time on his lengthy Green Bay Packers career, but in the end, he relented and put in a superb series of displays that may have failed to take Matt LaFleur’s team to the Super Bowl, but Rodgers did secure his second straight NFL MVP award.
The main grievance Rodgers had before last season began was his starting spot, and there were some who felt that the time was right to give rookie Jordan Love the chance to prove himself, but that didn’t come to pass.
Now when it comes to any NFL team’s starting quarterback in 2022-23, we can confidently predict that Aaron Rodgers will once again be the main man at Lambeau Field.
So could Rodgers make it three NFL MVP awards in a row? Well, currently, he sits in joint third place in the betting, alongside Tom Brady (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers), with Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) and Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) ahead of them in the odds.

Rodgers, set to start his 18th season at Green Bay, will apparently miss the opening portion of the team’s offseason program and is due to return to action in early June, which seems fair enough given his status at the franchise.

The move is said to be one that excites the Green Bay star, with his friend Sam McAfee commenting;
"He’s pumped about Sammy Watkins,"
"I’m going to assume, just from what I’ve heard about Sammy Watkins from some of the interviews he’s done. Deep thinker, has a very open mind with chit-chatting about things. He and Aaron might get along perfectly. This might be exactly what Sammy Watkins needs and wants, and I think Aaron Rodgers feels the exact same way, especially the situation they’re in with Davante
Clearly, the trading in of any quality player who can help complete Rodgers touchdown passes is a good thing, and we’d confidently predict another strong season awaits the Packers in 2022-23.
LaFleur has taken the Packers to the postseason in each of his first three seasons in charge, securing an impressive 39-10 record, but they’ve failed to go deep into the playoff picture. Could this season be the one that sees Rodgers collect his second Super Bowl ring?
Rodgers tasted Super Bowl glory way back in 2011 and has been a key figure in taking the Packers to the postseason on nine occasions since then. Could it be the tenth time lucky?
