2. Aaron Rodgers (2005-14)

Selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 24th overall pick out of California in the 2005 NFL Draft, Aaron Rodgers had the daunting task of following Brett Favre as the team’s quarterback.

He’s done better than just OK in the role.

Rodgers was the NFL Most Valuable Player in both 2011 and 2014, earning All-Pro honors each season, and is a four-time Pro Bowler.

After three years as Favre’s backup, Rodgers became the starter after the team and Favre went through an acrimonious breakup in 2008. The Packers returned to the playoffs in 2009 and have returned each year since, including winning the Super Bowl after the 2010 season, with Rodgers earning MVP honors in the game.

He set a single-season NFL record in 2011 with a passer rating of 122.5 and his career rating of 106.0 is the highest in NFL history.

The Packers are 70-33 in his 103 regular-season starts and he has completed 65.8 percent of his throws for 28,578 yards, 226 touchdowns and just 57 interceptions (his interception rate of 1.6 percent is also the best in NFL history).

Rodgers is second in Packers history with 28,578 yards and 226 touchdown passes, while his 57 interceptions are tied for seventh most.
