Aaron Rodgers is expected to be named MVP of the NFL this season, the third time he will win the award. His Green Bay Packers host the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday to start a playoff run at a potential second Super Bowl title with him as quarterback.
It’s a long way from a guy who didn’t merit a single major college football scholarship offer coming out of high school in Chico, California.
Back then, Rodgers stood 5-foot-10 and weighed just 165 pounds. For scouts, those metrics overrode his ability to spin a football.
