“It Was Incredible Motivation For Me”: Aaron Rodgers Reveals The Real Push That Made Him A 4x NFL MVP And One Of The Best QBs NFL Has Ever Seen

Today, the Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is one of the biggest names in the NFL. The man who contributed to helping Rodgers reach this point is none other than his former quarterback coach Tom Clements. Clements left the Packers after the 2016 season. He was a part of the franchise for more than 10 years and rejoined the squad this off-season. Rodgers couldn’t be happier to play under his long-time mentor again. Especially, when he is in the last phase of his NFL career.

The 69-year-old was the front man helping Rodgers to cement his position as the true franchise quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. It was during his tenure that Aaron Rodgers clinched his first Super Bowl title, and got named the Super Bowl MVP with two league MVPs and six Pro Bowl selections.

Recently, the duo met each other at the training camps on Wednesday. It was the first day of pre-season practice for all the teams. “When I was a young player, I wanted nothing more than to make Tom Clements happy, and it was an incredible motivation for me,” Rodgers said after the session.

“Because I would have great games, in my opinion, and Tom would give me a minus performance. It motivated me because I love that Tom held me accountable in more ways than just a stat sheet. It was about the fundamentals. The decision-making, the footwork, and stuff that has really molded me into the quarterback I am today. So, on day one, getting a fist bump was pretty sweet. I said ‘Tom, you haven’t seen me play in a while, that was for you.'” he added. What’s more interesting is the way Rodgers arrived at the training camp this season.

On Tuesday, all the pros reported for training at their respective franchises. As expected, Aaron Rodgers didn’t fail to surprise fans with his unique style. Last season it was John Wick, but this time he went for Nicolas Cage’s character in ‘Con Air,’ Cameron Poe.

He donned a white tank top wearing blue jeans, holding a backup similar to that of Nicolas’s in the film. As soon as the photograph broke on the internet, claiming his resemblance to the movie star was a coincidence, he came forward to announce that it was purely intentional and the message got successfully conveyed.

Although he had a successful off-season bagging a lucrative contract making him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, he lost his buddy Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. However, Rodgers seems confident to pull out yet another season under the mentorship of Mike McCarthy and Tom Clements.
