Packers legend Brett Favre drops truth on Aaron Rodgers’ elite play in Year 17

Despite all the questions and criticisms he faced in Week 1, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers proved he’s still one of the elites in Week 2 with a sensational performance against the Detroit Lions.

Now, ahead of Green Bay’s Week 3 showdown with the San Francisco 49ers, Packers legend legend Brett Favre broke down Rodgers’ game and explained what makes him elite even at 37 years old and entering Year 17 of his career.

As Favre noted, it all boils down to two things for Rodgers: playmaking and IQ. The reigning NFL MVP can basically throw from any position–making any play possible–while his football IG puts him ahead of his opponents in any situation.
