one of the most valuable players in NFL

The Green Bay Packers have a very rich history, with the team going through several ups and downs since it was created in 1919. Most Green Bay Packers fans would remember the year 2008 as the year when longtime quarterback and team star Brett Favre left the team and the arrival of Aaron Rodgers. In the coming years, Rodgers would firmly establish himself worthy of his position in his team, and becoming one of the most valuable players in NFL. Today, the Aaron Rodgers jersey is one of the hottest selling Green Bay Packers Jerseys.

Aaron Rodgers entered the field for the Green Bay Packers with enormous expectations, to say the least. The previous quarterback, Brett Favre, had been a starter for the team for the last 16 years. He had won several awards and broken records, including the most number of consecutive seasons that a player has started for his team. With a huge burden even before he began playing, Aaron Rodgers had a lot to live up too, and he was able to deliver well. The 2008 season saw Rodgers throwing for more than 4000 yards and orchestrating 28 touchdowns. Even though a string of injuries in the defense lineup saw more loses than was expected, Aaron Rodgers had already proved that he could lead the team to victories.

The next season saw Aaron Rodgers even more pressurized with Brett Favre shifting to Packers' division rival Vikings. The two teams met twice over the course of the season, both of which broke received a record breaking TV audience. Both games saw Rodgers taking up an enormous amount of pressure. Even though the Packers lost both games, it was clear that Aaron Rodgers had performed exceptionally well in spite of the focus on him. He was sacked 14 times during the course of both games, but he was able to throw 5 touchdowns and only ended suffering from one interception. In spite of what may have seemed a disappointing season, Rodgers created the record of being the first ever quarterback to throw 4000 yards in his first 2 seasons as starter.

Today, Aaron Rodgers is considered among the elite like Peter Manning and Tom Brady. The Aaron Rodgers jersey commands as much as respect as other Green Back Packers jerseys. This feeling is not limited to the Packers fans either. Even football experts consider Aaron Rodgers to have enormous potential, which is why the year 2011 saw him win the coveted NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. In the current scenario, the only difference between Aaron Rodgers and other contemporary greats like Tom Brady and Peter Manning is in the years of playing. While the latter players have had years of experience, (Brady has been playing for more than 10 years), Aaron Rodgers is still new to the game but has still been able to stay cool and perform even during the toughest situations. In other words, the Aaron Rodgers jersey symbolizes a newly born football superstar who will definitely bring success to the Packers.
