QB Aaron Rodgers
GREEN BAY – Aaron Rodgers long ago put another Super Bowl far higher on his priority list than any additional individual accolades.
But don t think he s not keenly aware of his current status as one of two top candidates in 2020 for what would be his third NFL Most Valuable Player award. It s nice to be back in the conversation, Rodgers said Wednesday.
Rodgers first two MVPs were never really in doubt. In 2011, he received 48 of the 50 Associated Press votes, and in 14, he got 31 of 50.
The Packers QB also thought he had a shot in 2012, when Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson won it by making a convincing statement in the season s last game, rushing for 199 yards against Green Bay to get the Vikings into the playoffs and himself over 2,000 yards.
