Former Green Bay Packers players Greg Jennings and Jermichael Finley have not shied away from taking shots at Aaron Rodgers, regularly criticizing his leadership abilities.
Well, it seems that Rodgers has had enough.
“It bothers me that every time there’s an article, it’s the same two people,” Rodgers told Jason Wilde and Mark Tauscher of ESPN. “And if it’s not an article about me, do you ever hear their names anywhere else? At what point do you move on? You talk about me being sensitive and petty? At what point do you move on or stop telling the same stories?”
Jennings and Finley both ripped Rodgers in a scathing piece published by Bleacher Report's Tyler Dunne last week, which is not the first time that the quarterbacks former teammates have taken the opportunity to try and tear him down.

Jennings spent the first seven years of his career in Green Bay from 2006 through 2012, with 2008 marking the first year that Rodgers served as the starting signal-caller. Jennings tallied three 1,000-yard seasons with Rodgers, making back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2010 and 2011.
Meanwhile, Finley played for the Packers from 2008 through 2013 and had a few very impressive seasons, with his best campaign coming in 2011 when he hauled in 55 receptions for 767 yards and eight touchdowns.
Both Jennings and Finley won a Super Bowl with Rodgers back during the 2010-11 campaign.
After his time in Green Bay, Jennings spent two years with the Minnesota Vikings and one year with the Miami Dolphins.
