Aaron Rodgers NFL Career
Rogers saw little playing time during his first three seasons in the NFL, playing two-to-three games each year as a backup to Brett Favre. When Favre retired for the first time, though later came back to play for the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings, after the 2007 season, Rodgers was named the starting quarterback.
