Green Bay Packers – Aaron Rodgers

That “discount double-check” guy from the State Farm Insurance commercials plays for the Packers! Who knew? Apparently he’s pretty decent, too.

After watching a bunch of highlights, you can tell the guy is more luck than skill. All he does is keep his team close then lob high-flying Hail Mary’s into the end zone at the end of games. It works sometimes, but maybe he should get back to selling insurance.

Everyone who plays squads in Fortnite knows one of these fluke players. He’s a decent player, nothing special, until the end of the game when he gets the last four kills by randomly lobbing grenades into the opposing bases.

Every squad needs a clutch playmaker to take over when the other three are panicking. Hearts are racing, blood is pumping, mistakes are being made but Rodgers bails everyone out with a next level “clutch” gene. As long as this guy is on the squad, it doesn’t matter what your set up is. You’ll never be out of a game.

A huge plus for Rodgers is that he also comes with his own emote. The “discount double check” is definitely something that would translate over to Fortnite.

Rodgers spent the offseason sipping on chug jugs to fix his broken collarbone. He showed exactly how valuable he was to the Packers when he went down in 2017 and aside from a brief return at the end of the season, he was shut down until 2018 (be honest, for a second you thought the Packers were going to come back, squeak into the playoffs and win the Super Bowl).

Look for the Packers to be in the mix again until this man retires. If you end up playing against him in Fortnite, don’t give him a chance to take it to the end of the game.
