Mister Aaron Rodgers to Us

Entering 2017, Aaron Rodgers may become the first player in NFL history to throw at least 40 touchdown passes in three different seasons.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the NFL with 40 touchdown passes last year. Rodgers, who threw 45 touchdown passes in 2011, is one of only four players in NFL history with at least 40 touchdown passes multiple seasons.

Entering 2017, Rodgers will attempt to become the first player in NFL history to throw at least 40 touchdown passes in three different seasons. "Aaron Rodgers does things that no one in the league has ever done," says New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. "Some of the plays he makes are just phenomenal. Everything looks effortless with him, which is the amazing part. He makes hard look easy. He's just an incredible player."
