3. Aaron Rodgers

The body of work that Aaron Rodgers has put up thus far in his career is absolutely remarkable. He has thrown for over 4,000 yards nine times, 40 touchdowns three times, and has won three league MVPs.

What is possibly most impressive about Rodgers is that he makes impossible throws look routine while rarely turning the ball over. Since he became the Packers’ starter in 2008, he has thrown 10 or more interceptions once, and that came in 2010 when he threw 11 interceptions. He has led the NFL in lowest interception percentage on five different occasions.

Rodgers is a nine-time Pro Bowler, a three time All-Pro, and has won those aforementioned three NFL MVPs. He led the Packers to a Super Bowl XLV win over the Steelers in 2010, and is still chasing that elusive second ring.

From the looks of it, he is still far from done. He is still playing at an elite level at age 38. With quarterbacks seemingly starting to play longer, Aaron Rodgers could keep playing at a high level for several years to come. Whether it is in Green Bay or elsewhere, Rodgers still has a lot of game left in him, and thank goodness for that.
