Aaron Rodgers waited on draft day and then waited until Brett Favre left Green Bay three years later. He has had a career that has a reservation in Canton five years after it is done. Rodgers is 113-60-1 as a starter, with 46,946 passing yards and 364 touchdowns. In Sunday’s NFC Championship, he gets to face one of the teams that passed him in the draft. And that burned because Rodgers’ roots are from Northern California.
