Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP has been a treat to watch on the football field throughout the course of his career. From leading his Green Bay Packers to win the Super Bowl, to witnessing the worst season with them – this 39-year-old could be named as the most loyal Quarterback modern-day fans would’ve seen.
Just like his NFL career, Rodgers was a force to reckon with during his college years as well. Having to not make it to a Division I college, this star enrolled at Butte Colle. In his one and only year with the team, Rodgers led them to a 10-1 record and a #3 National rank (threw 26 TouchDowns).
As a result of which, he was named as the respective conference’s MVP. Eventually, his consistent performances were all noted University of California, Berkeley, who called him up as the team’s starter.
Rodgers became the starting QB in the fifth game of the 2003 season for California. In his very debut, he beat the only team that offered him a Division I opportunity out of high school, Illinois.
Even after suffering via injury, it was impossible to neglect Rodgers’ hard-fought work. In 2003’s season itself, Aaron Rodgers tied the school season record for 300-yard games with five and set a school record for the lowest percentage of passes intercepted at 1.43%.
Giving a gist about his form in the 2004 season – Rodgers finished the 2004 season with 2,566 passing yards, 24 TouchDowns, and 8 interceptions. His 66.1% pass completion percentage led the highly competitive Pac-10.
