No. 2: Aaron Rodgers Being Aaron Rodgers

We don’t have to see Rodgers on a psychedelic trip or spouting on about the latest conspiracy… but it would be phenomenal television. All jokes aside, I am intrigued to see what the future Hall of Famer looks like in a new setting. Will he be even more relaxed than usual? Or will a sense of urgency kick in as the sand in his hourglass dwindles?

I suspect the latter. Rodgers is uber-competitive, and although he heavily contemplated retirement, my guess is that we see a locked-in version rarely seen before. The roster is ready to win now; they just need the 18-year veteran to get them over the Super Bowl hump.
