FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Driving to practice one day in 2007, Aaron Rodgers, John Kuhn and Corey Hall -- teammates on the Green Bay Packers -- got into a discussion about their football mortality. Rodgers, at the wheel of his Ford pickup, surprised them with his response to the question, "How long do you want to play?"

Even then, Rodgers -- 24 and Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre's understudy -- was fascinated by thought-provoking subjects. Those carpool conversations were deep and open, especially this particular one.

"I'll never forget it," Kuhn told ESPN.
