GREEN BAY – Aaron Rodgers has made it no secret he plans on playing into his 40s, going to great lengths in his diet and training to ensure his body is ready for the long haul.
Finding that fountain of youth is a difficult thing to achieve in the NFL. According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, only 36 non-specialists have surpassed that threshold. Nineteen of those players were quarterbacks.
One of those rare breeds, former Packers quarterback Brett Favre, was back in the Green Bay area Wednesday night to accept the Distinguished Service Award at the Lee Remmel Sports Award Banquet, an annual event named for the former Packers public relations director and team historian.
