Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Charles Rodgers was born in California on December 2nd, 1983. After he graduated high school, he attended Brutte College. A year after that he went to the University of California at Berkley. He was a football star for two years there before he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2005. Football was always one of Rodger’s favorite things to do, especially at a young age. At the age of 2 Aaron was able to sit silently and watch and entire NFL game. By the time he was 5; he could pick out different football formations on the television and throw a football through a hanging tire. It also helped him become a Heisman finalist in 2004. In 2005 he quit before the beginning of his last year Berkley to enter the 2005 NFL draft. There he was one of the college football’s top prospects. He got plenty of football knowledge from his father, Ed Rodgers, who was an offensive lineman in college. His dad continued to play semipro ball after he graduated, then took his team, The Twin City Cougars, to the Semipro National Championship where they defeated a Wisconsin team. If you ask any of Aaron’s friends or family they tell you, “Aaron was a talented athlete with a strong arm and a good head on his shoulders.” While he was still in school he played just about every sport possible, including soccer basketball and baseball. But only one sport truly called out to him, and of course that was football. He inherited his father’s passion and competitiveness. In school, he would have no trouble telling other kids what to do. He was often scolded but his teachers for being too bossy.
Rodger’s enrolled at Pleasant Valley High school in 1998 where he immediately had his heart set on the varsity quarterback job for the school.
