On at least two different occasions during his NFL career, Northern California native Aaron Rodgers has wanted to play for the San Francisco 49ers. He wanted them to draft him in 2005, and they didn’t. He wanted them to trade for him in 2021, and they couldn’t.
An article from Ian Rapoport of NFL Media technically doesn’t plow new ground (then again, many Sunday Splash! reports don’t), but it’s worth pointing out again that Rodgers, as Rapoport writes, indeed wanted to go to the 49ers.
The wish list, as PFT reported when all hell broke loose on the first day of the draft, consisted of the 49ers, Raiders, and Broncos.
