In 2005, Rodgers was drafted by the Green Bay Packers as their 24th overall pick. The following season, Rodgers became the starting quarterback for the team after Brett Favre retired.

In 2018, Rodgers signed a four year extension with the Packers worth $134 million making him one of the highest paid players in NFL history. He has also become one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history with numerous records including most touchdown passes thrown without an interception (402), highest passer rating by season (122.5) and lowest interception rate among qualified passers (1.6%).
