Former Packers teammate makes prediction on Aaron Rodgers future

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers just won the fourth MVP award of his career, and there wasn’t too much question surrounding his win. But, there is one thing that is not a sure thing, and that’s his future going forward. Some think, he’ll return to the Packers while others believe he’s out the door, and even a select few think Rodgers has played his last NFL game. With all this speculation his future swirling around, it’s good to have someone close to the MVP to give us perspective on his decision, and that is what we got out of former Packers linebacker AJ Hawk.

In the past, Hawk has been non-committal on his former teammate’s future until recently. Retired NFL punter, Pat McAfee found a surprising way to get this answer out of Hawk. When asked about Rodgers’s speech and plans, this is what the Ohio State product had to say.

“I feel like eventually he goes back to Green Bay,” said Hawk.

The majority of his 11-year career with right Rodgers and the Packers. He was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2006 draft by Green Bay; a year after taking Rodger with the 24th overall pick in the 2005 draft. During his time with the Packers, he started in 136 the 142 games he was featured in and missed just two games over his nine-year stay. Hawk finished his time in Green Bay with 922 total tackles, 629 solo, 55 tackles for loss, 19 sacks, and nine interceptions.

Rodgers captures his fourth MVP award

The NFL announced Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the NLF’s MVP Thursday night. Rodgers won the award after another spectacular season for the Green Bay Packers and now has four MVPs to his name during his 16-year career.

This past season, Rodgers threw for 4,115 yards and ranked third in the NFL with a 68.9% completion percentage. He also had threw for a league-low four interceptions and 37 touchdowns — giving him one of the best touchdown-to-interception ratios of the year.

Despite back-to-back MVP awards, Rodgers’ future in Green Bay remains in doubt as he weighs his options. Prior to this season, even after winning his third MVP award, Rodgers didn’t report to training camp on time and questions remained as to whether or not he’d suit up for the Packers. He did, and now fans wait to see what he decides to do for the 2022 season.

Green Bay went 13-4 this season to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The Packers played the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round and lost on a buzzer-beating field goal by Robbie Gould.

Big decisions loom for the Packers this season. They could not only lose Rodgers, but also star wide receiver Davante Adams, who’s entering free agency. Green Bay could use the franchise tag on Adams, but it’s unclear what direction the Packers will go.
