Jake Luton ‘Excited’ to be Playing Against Childhood Hero Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers are on a roll right now in the league. They registered a convincing win against the San Francisco 49ers last weekend by a 17-34 scoreline. The Wisconsin-based franchise will now play AFC South franchise Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10.

Jake Luton heaps praise on Green Bay Packers superstar Aaron Rodgers

A starry-eyed Jake Luton is gearing up to face-off against his ‘childhood hero’ Aaron Rodgers this weekend. The 2020 sixth-round draft pick made his first start for the Jaguars in last week’s loss to the Houston Texans. The rookie quarterback threw for 300+ yards with one touchdown to his name.

Luton now goes up against a giant of the game in the form of two-time NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers.

“It’s pretty surreal. He’s a guy I have a lot of respect for, was a big fan of growing up and a huge fan of his game. A lot of things that he does, no one else really can do. He’s a wizard with the football in a lot of ways. Like I said, [I have] a lot of respect for him. It’ll be really exciting to get out there and get to play ball against him.”

“I wouldn’t say I was a Packers fan, but I grew up a big fan of [Brett] Favre and then Rodgers stepped in and I was a big fan of Rodgers, so [I] definitely watched the quarterbacks that have played there over my childhood,” Luton said via NFL Network.

Despite their loss to eternal rivals, Minnesota Vikings, in Week 8, the Packers sit atop the NFC North Division table for now. Matt Nagy’s Chicago Bears are hot on their trail. Can Mr.Rodgers lead the Packers to another Super Bowl title before leaving Wisconsin in search of a different challenge?
