Aaron Rodgers: Super Bowl MVP — page 1
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Dateline December 3 2015 It was fourth down with time on the clock for just one play The Green Bay Packers had the football on their own 39-yard-line trailing the Detroit Lions 23 21 Quarterback Aaron Rodgers took the snap and rolled to his left buying time for his receivers to race to the end zone He then circled to his right and with a lunging hop flung the ball as high and far as he could Amid the jostling leaping melee of receivers and defenders waiting in the end zone tight end Richard Rodgers managed to settle the ball into his chest for the winning touchdown A month later in a divisional playoff game against Arizona Aaron Rodgers did it again In the last seconds of regulation he threw an off balance touchdown bomb to wide receiver Jeff Janis forcing overtime although Arizona ultimately won the game National Football League NFL fans during the offseason watch perpetual replays of those and other fantastic connections thrown by Rodgers If a team is in a last-second Hail Mary pass situation many agree Aaron Rodgers is the best man to have at quarterback But there is much more to Rodgers’s success than a lucky arm He enters each game well prepared to make his share of phenomenal plays It is based not on luck but on lifelong dedication discipline and tireless practice Rodgers is known for his consistent passing accuracy and low ratio of interceptions and he constantly strives to be even better In Football’s Greatest Stars by Allan Maki Rodgers states I want to be relentless and flawless in my decision making I’m very driven to be the best I think I can play more consistently 4
