Nelson: Rodgers Will Handle Love Mentorship in ‘Great Way’

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Brett Favre’s form of mentorship left a lasting impression on Aaron Rodgers, and he vowed to be different.

Whether it was Matt Flynn in the past or Tim Boyle today, Rodgers has forged strong relationships with his backup quarterbacks.

“I feel great about those relationships that I developed over the years,” Rodgers said last month. “Many of them are still really close friends. I consider Matt Flynn a very close friend. I still have great contact with a lot of guys I played with over the years from more recent to Deshone (Kizer) and Manny (Wilkins) to Tim (Boyle) and I are really close.
