Aaron Rodgers has become the new ‘statistic’ collector in the NFL. He is currently in the 17th year of his career and shows no signs of slowing down. As he continues forward, he is also achieving crazy statistical triumphs. One of his new achievements recently came to public attention, which not all quarterbacks have had. However, the NFL Universe is still upset about it over one aspect.

The Green Bay quarterback often makes history and registers his name under it. His in-game statistics are commendable, but he keeps adding to them. Aaron Rodgers became the fifth player in NFL history to score 500 career touchdown passes in both the regular season and playoffs. He connected with rookie Romeo Doubs for a 13-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots.
However, SportsCenter added more to the statistics. In a graphic shared on Twitter, they mentioned, “Aaron Rodgers has thrown for over 500 touchdowns in his career. Marcedes Lewis is the only former first-round pick to ever catch a touchdown pass from Rodgers.”

Rodgers joined Tom Brady (713), Drew Brees (608), Peyton Manning (579), and Brett Favre (552) as the only five players in regular and postseason history to pass 500 or more touchdowns. A-Rod has 457 regular-season, and 45 playoff touchdown throws at the time of authoring.
NFL Universe unhappy to not see Davante Adams with Aaron Rodgers’ achievement
Aaron Rodgers is etching new career heights with his crazy accomplishments. However, NFL fans remain upset over the quarterback. Some of them are unhappy that the achievement does not have the former Packer, Davante Adams, in it.
A user mentioned the most bizarre aspect of this statistic is that Davante Adams was not drafted in the first round.
The wild part of this stat is that Davante Adams wasnt a first rounder????

Another user claimed that Rodgers has demonstrated throughout his career that he cannot draft offensive talent around him.
Aaron Rodgers has shown throughout his career that he doesn’t know how to draft offensive talent around him. Not an elite QB

Another user finds it ridiculous to pretend that Davante Adams, Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb, and others were not first-round picks.
Wild if we pretend that means Devante Adams, jordy Nelson, donald driver, greg Jennings, Randall Cobb etc. were not first round caliber receivers. Never mind, Mercedes Lewis is the best receiver he’s ever had!
