The NFL draft always releases some grades for the players. These grades are indicators for the teams to decide who they’ll be drafting. Interestingly, many of the greats were given absolutely terrible ranks. One such example was Patrick Mahomes being rated a ‘C’. However, Mahomes quickly proved this grade wrong. This also happened with one of the most celebrated veterans of the game, Aaron Rodgers.

After Mahomes’ rank went viral, the Vice President of the Packers took to Twitter to share what shocking grade Rodgers had gotten. It was an absurdly low grade that doesn’t match his actual accolades and skills. Furthermore, fans went on to express their disbelief at the grade.
