This is the third time Rodgers’ career that he’s been named MVP, putting him in the rarefied air of only five other players in the history of the award.
“The guys on that list are guys I grew up watching, idolizing,” Rodgers said if his third win in a statement to the press. “To join that list of guys who’ve won it more than twice is pretty special.”
That list includes legendary running back Jim Brown, Colts greats Johnny Unitas and Peyton Manning, soon-to-be Super Bowl starter Tom Brady and Rodgers’ Green Bay predecessor Brett Favre.
