LAS VEGAS — Of all the unexpected storylines to emerge from the NFL draft, the imminent end of the Aaron Rodgers era in Green Bay is worthy of a cover story.
With the window closing on Rodgers’ pursuit of a second Super Bowl, the Packers seemed to hit their 36-year-old quarterback from his blind side by using a first-round pick on his replacement. The clock is ticking on Rodgers, and if he did not know it last week, he does now.
The Packers traded up in the first round to take Utah State’s Jordan Love, who will be developed as the team’s quarterback of the future, sooner or later.
