What a difference a year made for Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers, of course, headed back to Wisconsin, played another season with the Packers and won another MVP award.At the end of it, a mega-extension that will make him the highest-paid player in the NFL (at a mere $50 million annually) likely ensured he will play out the remainder of his career in Green Bay.And now, here we find ourselves in an odd spot. Green Bay went defense with their first-round draft pick, though they did take Christian Watson out of North Dakota State early in Round 2.But it all looks a bit thin, especially when you look at who Brady, Allen and Mahomes have to aim their passes at.Rodgers leaned heavily on his connection with the physically-unassailable Adams last season, finishing the campaign with 37 touchdowns against just four interceptions.A similar showing this season with a depleted receiving corps could see him match Brett Favre as the only player to win three straight league MVPs, while joining Peyton Manning as the only man to have collected five in total.However, what will weigh more heavily is the 11 years that have passed since the Packers last reached and won the Super Bowl, the only title of Rodgers’ career.
