Aaron Rodgers’ four snaps during the 2023 season were enough for him to squeeze into the NFL’s Top 100 players list. The news left football fans scratching their heads.
On Monday, NFL.com released its best 100 NFL players list. A lot of players moved up the ladder, while several saw their stock plummet after a bad season.
However, there’s one player most football connoisseurs never expected to be part of the specific group of players. 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers missed the entire season after tearing his Achilles on the opening day and yet he found himself in the 92nd spot on the list.

— NFL (@NFL) July 23, 2024Aaron Rodgers is a first-ballot Hall of Famer because of his illustrious career, laden with individual and team accolades. He has won a Super Bowl while playing for the Packers, along with a 4-time NFL MVP, 10 Pro Bowl selections, a 4-time NFL passing leader, and a 2-time NFL passing touchdown leader.
Even with those honors, fans questioned Rodgers’ inclusion in the Top 100 NFL players’ list. Usually, the NFL committee compiles the list based on the player’s performance in the recently completed season. However, Rodgers was in rehab from start to finish, so in their view, he should not be on the list at all.
Dude he played 5 minutes LMFAO

— 𝔰𝔬𝔲𝔱𝔥𝔰𝔦𝔡𝔢𝔩𝔲𝔨 💔 (@southsideluk) July 23, 2024Aaron Rodgers had plans to win 2 Super Bowls with the Jets
The Jets signed Rodgers with the goal of winning the Super Bowl someday—a feat they haven’t managed since Joe Namath in 1969. His untimely injury forced them to delay that vision for another year.
During a recent sitdown with the Barstool boys on Pardon May Take, Rodgers revealed he has aspirations to play a few more years in the Big Apple, win 2 Super Bowls, and then hang up his boots.
I wanted to do two good ones to give us a chance to retire a Jet [and] win two Super Bowls.Aaron Rodgers said
How many more years does Aaron Rodgers have left? pic.twitter.com/vubBNsCxla
— Pardon My Take (@PardonMyTake) July 22, 2024With Rodgers back in the picture once again, the Jets can dream of winning the Lombardi Trophy once again, and as per USA Today’s prediction, the Jets will dominate the NFC, reaching the later stages of the playoffs.
