Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a three-time NFL MVP, a three-time first team All-Pro selection and a Super Bowl champion, but the foundation for all of the accolades was established well in advance of his professional accomplishments.
"High school was an important time for me," Rodgers said during a conversation with USA TODAY Sports' Sports Seriously show. "There's some really impressionable years in there. And in those years, I find a lot of incredible memories that I've taken with me my entire life."
To that end, Rodgers embraced the opportunity to participate in the inaugural USA TODAY High School Sports Awards, announcing the selections for Players of the Year in football.
