Aaron Rodgers NFL Draft

Rodgers falls in the NFL draft to the Green Bay Packers

[@Just4commentchannel]

the 23 teams that passed on him are regretting it now

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

+Just4commentchannel One of them is San Francisco. Aaron went to college in Berkeley and should've played for a bay area NFL team.

[@geromemanicia3809]

+Max Payne (M.P. fan) he was also a life long niners fan

[@aeroprinting3912]

If he would have became the same player. I don't see the teams actually admitting why they passed on him but he comes off as a basket case. He doesn't handle losing well as in he loves throwing teammates under the bus. If he landed on a team that needed to rebuild and was thrown to the wolves right away he could have flamed out.

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

+Just4commentchannel Especially the Vikings at pick #18! Culpepper would be out of Minnesota the next season and then they drafted Tavris Jackson and Christian Ponder..... Bridgewater is great but he is no Rodgers

[@unholydiver1095]

Imagine Jim Harbaugh and Rodgers. At least 3 rings

[@Cohodes]

TORRY HOLT CALLED IT AT THE END!!! TORRY SHOULD BE FRONT AND CENTER AS HIS WISDOM ABOUT THIS WAS SPOT ON AND I HOPE TO SEE TORRY MORE ON TV

[@WazzyMotoe]

This was honestly one of the best drafts ive seen so far in my lifetime. Im only 17, But after looking at the scrolling bar below and seeing the draft picks already made, I only see like 4 or 5 busts. It was a really good draft year. No joke.

[@JewJitsue]

How’s being 28

[@MuhjoraHoops]

Yo

[@WazzyMotoe]

@@JewJitsue It sucks ass LOL. But a lot of experiences. A lot of mistakes. But life is life you know? I didn't remember making a comment on this lol

[@k1ng_chamberlain]

@@WazzyMotoe hope you’re doing well. What advice would you give to your 17 year old self if you could

[@paulio7250]

​@k1ng_chamberlain Not him but I would say that life flies by real fast. I'm 36 now but it seems like yesterday that I was in high school chillin with the boys in the cafeteria lol, that was 18 years ago. You also don't have as much energy when you're older and easily feel more tired when you do stuff. Stay consistent with the gym (3 full body days or a 4 day upper/lower split) and don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Even if you get a short workout in and miss some stuff, it's fine. Don't beat yourself up for not being "optimal." Something is a lot better than nothing. Family and friends get sick and pass away a lot quicker than you think. Cherish your time with them now and always try to make time for family and friends, work can wait. Just asking this question as a young dude says a lot about your intelligence. You're a smart dude and I'm sure you'll figure it out bro! Let me know if you have any questions. I'm rooting for you! 🤗💛

[@ericdicocco4986]

tory holt is all like "yall get paid to do this? kk watch this... he's goin to the packers. boom."

Jason Campbell, god that is so funny now.

nice call from holt

thanks for passing on him, he came with a nice chip

[@hipstereagle6050]

Nice Torry Holt!

This guy can definitely be a future MVP

[@ninersdd21]

Can't believe this is almost 10 years ago

[@justingray3359]

Crazy to see 3 rbs go in the top 5. The nfl has definitely changed it’s value of that position

[@tleoipl37]

Craziness won’t happen again

[@flyingfishsurf]

what a stud. i became an aaron rodgers fan yesterday. what a comeback!! he came up a little short. if only the packers had a little defense, who knows what the playoffs might be like. i'm a chargers fan, but watch out for rodgers, whoever he plays for. looks like he's for real.

[@footballthoughts8577]

bro had a time machine

[@MrSkyboy997]

Packers got a steal on this

[@Turkey_Fart]

Aaron Rodgers is awesome. Selected for the Prowl Bowl, set an NFL record this year. I believe in Rodgers!

[@novacam2124]

Now he’s gone with 4 mvps to his name

[@drmike958]

As a Packer fan, this was a very happy day for me. I knew that whoever replaced Favre would have big shoes to fill but somehow I felt that Rodgers was the right guy to do it. A lot of Packer fans felt like they wasted a 1st round pick because they couldn't foresee the day when Favre would be gone. This all worked out perfectly imo. Go Pack!

[@IDKwhattonameit1000]

Ha ha. Torry Holt nailed it.

[@nesmith777]

Chris Bergman is right on with his comment. How prophetic was his Thurman Thomas story.

[@jermeeee]

What a great call by T Holt on the Packers picking Rodgers! Wow!

[@jonvich3011]

Dude watching this 15 years later, that was a crazy call by holt

[@tylermorro6663]

It doesn’t matter where (or if) you get drafted, if matters what you do when you get there. Kurt Warner is in the Hall of Fame. Kurt Warner went from undrafted to a HOFer. It can happen....

[@Slotten68]

Mel Kipper Jr's analysis: One minute and only partially correct Torry Holt: One sentance and dead on

[@winalldayeveryday]

I love how Mel Kiper rambles on and on about false bullshit predictions that never ended up happening, while Torry Holt speaks the truth in 3 seconds.

[@Ryan-xy1xw]

Guys you can argue that Rodgers is better than A.Smith because of Favre but lets be honest here. Rodgers had and has more talent than Smith. Rodgers had more arm strength and better accuracy. People questioned Rodgers mobility because he didnt have to move in college. Well now... Rodgers has proven he has the moblility, Smith might be a little faster than Rodgers. In the end we all know that Rodgers is the most overall physically gifted QB in NFL history. Can't teach that.

[@dalferez55]

***** well said you right

[@retribution722]

***** If Rodgers went to SF, boy they would be a dynasty, no questions asked. Great defense with an elite qb at center for the offense. Glad he's in GB. Now, if only GB's defense could pick it up, there will be more superbowls to come for Rodgers and the packers.

[@Kankasin]

***** totaly agree, if he went to SF we would prolly see 2-3 superbowls picked up by them easily. Actually any top tier qb go to SF would bring them a superbowl appereance easily. Big ben,peyton,brady,rodgers and even rivers would bring them lots of success. But i am glad SF is terrible at picking qbs since montana.

[@grajmahal]

Instead, he went to the Packers- and he's become the greatest QB to play for the greatest sports franchise in the history of sports with a legacy of QB's that is second to nobody. San Francisco sucks on the chode of GB's 13 championships.

[@MrBroseph311]

Nothing against Alex Smith..he turned out to be a solid pro. But, I think the niners passing on Rodgers is one of the least talked about blunders in history.

[@bax323]

Great how Holt waits for Berman, Mortenson and Kiper stop their endless blathering and nails it in one short sentence.

[@richig761]

@ILLINI4LIFE1 I'm a Bears fan, and the next decade is going to be remembered as the Aaron Rodgers decade as far as QB's go. He's got it all. Guy is going to be a stud for a long time.

[@mdliccone]

You were right

[@BlueBarrier782]

Taking Jason "hold onto the ball forever" Campbell over Aaron Rodgers is a move only the brilliant Dan Snyder could do.

[@th3burk1994]

greatest pick we packers have ever had. look at us now, mark my words, Aaron Rodgers all-pro 2010

[@stephcurrie1383]

I remember vividly having a conversation with one of my home boys leading up to this draft saying that Aaron Rodgers had the potential to be a top 5 QB in the next 5-7 years. He was the only one who agreed with me. Though he didn't go that far, he didn't agree about the top 5 comment, he thought he'd be a potential HOF player if things fell a certain way. As a Packers fan, I didn't think there was a chance he'd fall to us. I watched a ton of his games and I couldn't see how so many teams could pass.

[@Prinzess26]

"Joe Gibb's strong interest in Jason Campbell" BWHHAHAHAHAHAHA still funny after all this time

[@mcchulogan91]

Mel Kiper Jr. doesn't know what it take to be an NFL elite players like most Analysis because they never played the game. It take a heart and desire..that's what motivates this good, great, elite players to play at a high level.!!

[@brewcitybroker]

Some people had made the comment Rodgers had a bad release and weak arm. Well, he did have a Tedford developed realease coming out, but it has been fixed. He always had a strong arm. Good article about this on ESPN - "Aaron has a very strong arm and really always has," McCarthy said. "We dropped his ball carriage. Now, it's a little more fluid and that helps him transition. He's clearly one of the better guys I've had the opportunity to work with" McCarthy

[@Taicort]

Great pre-curser to his career. Boomer, Kiper and Holt pretty much mapped out what ended up happening.

[@WISCONSINWOODSHUNTER]

i love aaron rodgers. he is always calm during games and off the field. he gets better every day, he's tough, and we see a lot less interseptions than we used to with brett... also a few less TD's and amazing lucky throws. I love brett favre (not as a viking though), but aaron rodgers will do just as good if not better than brett did. he's smarter with just as good of an arm and accuracy. it also helps aaron that he actually has good revievers... brett makes minnesota's look good.

[@egojames007]

that was tight!!..the espn network guys all hit homers on this clip. wow!!!..listen to each one, and from Berman to Kiper to Holt....they knocked a home run. 2012 Aaron Rodgers is in the top 3 best players in the NFL, and is having a hall of fame career. wow.

[@skapunkteddybear]

Torry Holt's a fuckin genius. It was so fun living in St. Louis during his career with the Rams.

[@marpar3971]

he got his schooling from one of the best ever

[@QBDogKiller]

@skedardestroyer Some teams just draft really well. The Packers have been insane at drafting the last few years. Nick Collins, BJ Raji, Aaron Rodgers, Desmond Bishop, Tramon Williams, Jermicheal Finley, Jordy Nelson, Gregg Jennings, Matt Flynn, Josh Sitton, etc. The Steelers are the only other team that has had similar success drafting. It is an in-exact science but some teams really do their homework and hit on most picks.

[@tarrerdome]

Big Game Tory Holt = Nostradamus

[@sedeyus]

"have the luxury to go play with Brett Favre in Green Bay" lol. And Favre sure made him feel comfortable.

[@410balla]

Smh nobody wanted Aa-Rod

[@Likeafoxow]

+Official MikeLee Packers wanted him.

[@GreenDay1981]

Manning's first 4 seasons: 111 TDs, 81 INTs Rodgers's 4 starting seasons: 131 TDs, 37 INTs Quite a difference.

[@blackanimelover18]

That was Tom Brady before he became TOM BRADY. He was still raw and young, and the fact that he had the ability to take his team down the field to set up the game winner, in the Super Bowl no less, is great. No one is forgetting Troy Brown and his contributions, but the Pats weren't winning 3 super bowls without Tom Brady as their QB. And Neil O'Donnell? Really? He wasn't half the QB Brady is.

[@SuperRamy21]

lmao torry holt you are dam right it was a luxury, people seem to have forgotten that

[@AtTheDriveBy]

i love how casual that last dude spoke and got it right!

[@thegamingchef3304]

2005, I'm getting old.

[@gheuk984]

last years Cowboys vs Packers game, they would have got murdered if Favre stayed in there, because he wasn't going along with the teams strategy, he tried being the old favre, the gunslinger, and the packers were getting handled, but rodgers came in there and was very mobile and sticking to the gameplan and almost pulled it off for the packers.but one game is one game, but he did really good in that one, and it was a very big game to come into and do that,it impressed me a lot.

[@Canuck204]

Torry Holt was right..and now, he's a Super Bowl Champ and MVP.

[@blushingambition11]

Jesus Christ, three running backs in the top 6 and all three of them had a combined two good years at the most. Crazy.

[@heyimJoeK]

thank you san fran, chicago, miami, cleveland, and all the other teams that didn't select Rodgers!! sucks to be you!! GO PACK GO!!!

[@claymakerrules]

As a Packer fan, I hated this pick. But wow do I love this pick now! A year later Thompson drafted Hawk and Jennings, also signed Woodson and didn't sign Arrington. Thompson is Ron Wolf 2.0.

[@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

The Packers have a Superbowl ring in their 3rd year with Rodgers, and have a franchise QB set for a new dynasty in this new decade. The 49ers just fired their coach and have been scratching their heads over whether they want to suffer with Alex Smith or Troy Smith the last few years. It's incredible how little you can predict about the future.

[@Paulpatine]

Pretty decent value pick

[@brewcitybroker]

The AFC being better makes it harder for Edwards to be better then AR. That actually works in AR's favor.

[@cvang5]

rodgers and brohm are good picks for the packers. i hope rodgers can win us another super bowl. GO PACKS!!!!

[@Derlowemann]

Favre is not selfish, he is not a prema-donna, even at 40 last year he ran 25 yards down field and laid out Patrick Willis the D player of the year. Not many QBs would do that, Favre is a player he sure does not need the money. I have a lot of respect for Favre, he is an amazing player and for a non kicker pr punter to play that many consecutive games, only Jim Marshall and Favre have done this. Iron men, and I doubt any other Qb will break that record.

[@NFLdraftPreview]

Rodgers is the ONLY QB in NFL History to have back-to-back 4000-yard/95+ passer rating seasons to open his starting career. Oh, and he did it under enormous pressure and behind a shaky OL in 2009. And he didn't miss a game. Comparing him to Cutler? Please.

[@Derlowemann]

I never said Rodgers was not a good Qb, he is very good. But I still believe he is so good because of Favre and waiting in the wings learning the system. No matter what anyone thinks you know Favre taught him well, that is what Favre does, he brings out the best in players and wants to teach them.

[@RyCASTLE]

dude I forget who the black dude on the set is, but he trounces all the other guys on the set, he says no more than 15 words and calls it dead on, damn that was G!

[@lelnik38]

for the first time in 3 years i've now really been into football i see an expert actually making a correct prediction in this video. torry holt in fact really is a genius...

[@shanezenmusic]

That black guy was on point with that prediction

[@bax323]

As a lifelong Packer fan I am still pinching myself on how lucky the Packers got that day when Aaron Rodgers fell into their lap.

[@blackanimelover18]

I agree, Smith seems like a very confident person, I don't doubt his work ethic at all.

[@dollarstorePWNRlol]

Dan Marino was a damn good steal as well

[@eltennis]

If the 49rs drafted Aaron Rodgers, they would be a Super Bowl team, hands down.

[@TheJacobsProductions]

Hey, no worries. We sent over our back up Flynn and he is just as good. Just last season the Packers possibly had the best two QB's in the league on their roster. That's if Flynn had more experience.

[@mathlover5k]

It was funny how everyone wouldn't shut up, and then Holt says "Rodgers is going to Green bay"

[@Juniversal]

lol Torry Holt knew the deal...

[@jww112093]

Chris Berman needs his own sitcom.

[@blackanimelover18]

Brett Favre never tutored him, he didn't even really like Rodgers. Everything Rodgers is right now is because of his own dedication and hard work. No doubt he'd still be elite, even in San Fran because he has that drive.

[@TheBikeman86]

As a Viking fan it absolutely shocks me we didn't give him a shot...

[@MrTrojanRam]

Wow...my boy Torry Holt called that perfectly. 10 picks before it happened no less.

[@RandomDays906]

Goodell: with the first pick of the NFL draft, well here is a hint his name starts with an A, ALEX SMITH! with the 24th pick of the NFL draft the Packers select Aaron Rodgers! Rodgers: *Finally*

[@salamander337]

That's the thing Smith confidence doesn't shattered easily. He's been with a bad team all his career but now all sudden they're good and the reason he's still with the Niners is mainly because his work ethic. He is perseverance. It'll take times for him to climb back to when he was drafted but he can never be that same guy again. He can go a different route and adjust to becoming a good QB on his own term.

[@Sirscorps]

Rich Campbell, J.J. Arrington, Kyle Boller, Sean Dawkins, Duane Clemons, Dealtha O'Neal, Langston Walker.........They have good and bad players like every other school.

[@joshuapeterson6072]

Holt hurt the Packers for so long, but he calls 15 years of joy

[@GBPackerfan75]

Totally agree EmJay. It's such a mistake to draft a QB when you really need one. A rookie should always sit for at least a year or 2 before getting thrown out there. If Smith got to sit and Rodgers had to start in his first year, we could very well be looking at a very different situation right now. I've always felt the same way about David Carr too. Turning him into the sack king in Houston ruined his career. I hope he gets a chance to start again someday.

[@regal394]

Torry Holt said it best...'the luxury'. A. Rodgers has had it made since he came into the league. He was already on a Great Team...dude hasn't had to work for anything.

[@Cablev94]

Kansas City on the clock. ROFL. I live in KC and they talk about not picking Rodgers here on the radio all the time.

[@juul384]

I would still go with Ray Lewis. Aaron rogers still has a lot of football ahead of him.

[@UBBERTANKER]

Im a packers fan and aron rodgers was good because he was humble, now he is getting more full of himself and is showing off more but hes still good just now he knows it more

[@dqlbmw]

@aligborat I agree Rodgers is the best quarterback I have seen play in the nfl. I think he is the second best QB in the nfl right now. How many quarterbacks can be that good without a running game, ok offensive line, and without finley. He can also make a play out of nothing because he is so athletic something that brady or manning cannot do because they are not as athletic as rodgers. He truly is a special quarterback and I am glad he plays for my favorite team.

[@brewcitybroker]

Bill Walsh was a Stanford guy -he said the company line. The AFC being more difficult means it will be harder for him to succeed over AR. The Bills may have found the WR in this draft in 6'6" sub 4.5 James Hardy. If Lynch stays healthy their fine.

[@dddevin69]

Those ESPN guys are on top of their shyt. go Mel Kiper! This is how you learn the game....

[@shaochiavang]

yep, some mistake team does today is that they start there rookie QB right away and expect them to play good, but what the packers did with rodgers was that he was learning and training behind bret,

[@aquarianbabe]

Alex Smith went first...what a laugh!! I know SF ain't laughing.

[@mcnasty2113]

Williamson is looking pretty good in his 2nd season with the Jaguars now.

[@salamander337]

You seem to be forgetting that Smith confidence was shatter for 7 years and he was able to be a good QB but not great. David Carr confidence was destroyed by the Texans and we all saw how he played when he was with the Niners. It's hard to climb back from that when you were drafted being the best QB in the NFL draft.

[@hinzy_9965]

Ted Thompson, thank you for not taking Jason Campbell.

[@jjeffries18]

Good call Torry. Like Boom said about Thurman Thomas "the rest is history."

[@colint92]

Rodgers is a stud. He is so underapreciated in this league because he replaced a legend and wasnt as good initially. I think he is possibly better than favre because of what he is given to play with. Favre has a well sculpted team and has barely been touched all year, while rodgers had an average of 5 sacks per game. You could blame it on him holding on to the ball too long but in most of those sacks he wasnt given a chance. Rodgers hardly ever throws interceptions and is very good for second yr

[@DaggerMan11]

He wasn't saying that he thought Campbell was a better prospect than Rodgers, he was just saying that, if nobody took Rodgers before the Redskins at 25, then Campbell might go before him because Joe Gibbs had spoken of his interest in Campbell. Nobody bothered to ask Washington how they felt about Rodgers because nobody thought he'd slip that far in the first place.

[@thierrykayofe07]

wow, who knew Aaron Rodgers was that good.

[@buddy318]

Good call Torry Holt! And I like what I saw from Rodgers this year, he wasn't the problem in GB. Gotta agree with IslandBoy. The issue was there run game and defense.

[@Diarkia124]

@Warmaker01 and the best part is that the current coach of the Packers, McCarthy wanted the 49ers to go with Smith instead of Rodgers.

[@MrDwtime70]

San Diego had a good pick that year Shawn Marriman was a beast

[@bakerandbaker1]

Rodgers was the best pick of that draft. Plenty of pro bowlers and late round steals however. Some others drafted included Ronnie Brown, Braylon Edwards, Cedric Benson, Antrel Rolle, DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, Jammal Brown, Roddy White, Logan Mankins, Vincent Jackson, Frank Gore, Justin Tuck, and Marion Barber. All the others: total busts.

[@nighttrain7404]

Hey man..can you post the part of this show where they showed Aaron Rodger's throwing motion that Ron Jaworski broke down? Do you also have the interview after he got drafted in Green Bay? I had these but I deleted it on my TIVO.

[@el3saint527]

nighttrain7404 ten years ago Lol

[@notyoursavior78]

Yeah Aaron Rodgers is the man, he didn't need to be protected like they did with later year picks (like Brady Quinn) by sending them into the back room. He just stood there and took it and after learning behind Brett, he certainly was ready.

[@carson00042]

Rodgers is from my town! Chico, California in Northern California. Im at the high school he played at right now.
