Profession and Career

Let’s take a look at Aaron’s incredible collegiate career before moving on to his professional accomplishments.

Career in College

Rodger attracted little notice from recruiters despite his outstanding high school record.

According to reports, he claimed that his lack of interest in the recruitment process stemmed from his disappointing physical size as a high school athlete of 5’10” (1.78 m) and 165 lbs (75 kgs).

Initially, he intended to enroll at Florida State University and play under head coach Bobby Bowden.

The university, however, turned him down, and the University of Illinois invited him to compete for a scholarship.

He turned down the offer and pondered giving up football to get a legal degree.

Furthermore, he was recruited to play football at Butte Community College in Oroville.

Career Advancement

He led Butte to the NorCal Conference championship and a No. 2 national rating as a rookie, with a 10-1 record.

There, he was recognized by Jeff Tedford, the head coach of the California Golden Bears.

Tedford was somewhat aback when he learned that Aaron had not been recruited by any of the collegiate teams.

Aaron was eligible to transfer to the University of California, Berkeley, due to his strong high school record.

In the fifth game of the 2003 season, the coach made Rodgers the starting quarterback, and as a sophomore, he guided the Golden Bears to a 7–3 record.

Reggie Robertson was forced to replace Aaron in the second half of the game due to an unexpected injury.

In the same season, his 394-yard pass against Virginia Tech earned him MVP honors in the Insight Bowl.

He was confident that the San Francisco 49ers, whom he grew up rooting for, would select him before the draft.

However, quarterback Alex Smith was selected by the San Francisco 49ers, while Aaron was selected by the Green Bay Packers as the 24th overall pick.

Aaron’s drop to the 24th pick and the Green Bay Packers’ decision to draft Brett Favre’s eventual replacement was one of the greatest stories of the draft, despite the fact that Rodgers was still the second quarterback chosen.
