It seems like just yesterday that a certain quarterback from Cal waited for seemingly forever for his name to be called on draft day. After he was drafted, he was seen as the eventual future of the Packers when their current quarterback decided to retire. Fast forward to 2010, and Aaron Rodgers has solidified his position as a top-5 quarterback in the NFL.
#1 Aaron Rodgers
Since taking over for Brett Favre for the 2008 season, Rodgers has been a stellar leader since day one. In three short seasons as the starter, Rodgers has been able to lead his team to the Super Bowl. Rodgers possesses the talent and the supporting cast to help bring Green Bay its first Super Bowl title since 1997. Possessing a strong and accurate arm and the mobility to escape the vaunted Steelers front seven, and the occasional Troy Polamalu blitz, Rodgers will easily pass up and down the field tomorrow while neutralizing the Steelers defense. If Greg Jennings faces double coverage, Rodgers could easily turn to Donald Driver or Jordy Nelson to produce. The Packers may run the ball early in the game to open up the passing game, but it will be an aerial attack for much of the game.
Prediction: 325 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, Super Bowl MVP
