It appears as though Aaron Rodgers will have at least one more go-round as a member of the Green Bay Packers.
With reports indicating that Rodgers will indeed suit up for the Packers in 2021 despite clashing with the team's upper management throughout the offseason, the upcoming campaign will more than likely be the legendary signal-caller's last in Green Bay.
Spending his entire NFL playing career as a member of the Packers as it stands today, a competitor like Rodgers will no doubt want to go out on top if he ultimately does elect to leave Green Bay after the new season.
With Rodgers keeping the Packers in the thick of NFC playoff picture on an annual basis while managing to put up gaudy individual numbers year in and year out, his current situation alongside the Green Bay brass certainly won't have an impact on his play. Besides, the heralded quarterback only knows one way to play.
Rodgers will surely come out guns blazing to end his tenure with the team, which could very well lead to a memorable season for the Cheeseheads.
3. Aaron Rodgers will throw for more than 4,500 yards for the Packers
Once quarterback Aaron Rodgers puts the pads back on and buckles his chinstrap, all bets will be off and the Packers signal-caller will be all business once again. Even with his ongoing rift with the team's front office, Rodgers wouldn't be coming back at all if he didn't want to win.
Not only will Rodgers want to bring the Packers another divisional crown and then some, but he will surely want to stick to all of his critics en route to tallying some impressive numbers on an individual basis. While he will likely throw for more than 4,500 yards in 2021, there is a zero percent chance that Rodgers doesn't surpass such a mark assuming that he remains healthy through the regular season.
Don't forget, the NFL added a 17th regular season game to the schedule, so Rodgers would only need to average 265 passing yards per game to eclipse the 4,500-yard mark.
2. A. Rod will win another NFL MVP Award
Rodgers has done nothing but put up Pro Football Hall of Fame numbers ever since the heralded NFC North franchise selected him in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of Cal.
A Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl MVP and three-time NFL MVP–including last season's honors–Rodgers should be able to once again add to his trophy case in 2021. Rodgers is more than capable of leading the Packers to glory while claiming some individual praise along the way.
Expect the Green Bay QB to go back-to-back while winning his fourth NFL MVP Award. Rodgers is also a three-time first-team All-Pro selection, one-time second-team All-Pro selection, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, a three-time NFL passer rating leader and two-time NFL passing touchdowns leader. Hopefully there's even enough room left in Rodgers' trophy case for a second straight NFL MVP Award!
1. Aaron Rodgers will lead the Packers to a Super Bowl appearance in 2021
The only more fitting way for the future Pro Football Hall of Fame QB to depart the Packers other than to win yet another NFL MVP award is to hoist the Lombardi Trophy as well.
With Rodgers slated to enter the upcoming 2021 campaign as the league's defending MVP with a trip to the NFC Championship Game under his belt, the Packers signal-caller will certainly be hungrier than ever to add one more to his single Super Bowl title.
Rodgers and Co. defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers back in 2010 en route to becoming Super Bowl XLV Champions. Of course, Rodgers was named Super Bowl MVP and has kept the Packers more than relevant ever since despite never hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for a second time.
Even so, thanks to the presence of A. Rod, wide receiver Davante Adams, running back Aaron Jones and a super stout defense, the 2021 season could be the one that gets this group over the hump and into the winner's circle. With the defending Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers returning virtually its entire roster, it won't be easy for the Packers.
Luckily for Green Bay and the team's fan base, Rodgers will be playing with a massive chip on his shoulder.
