The nod caps off a tumultuous year for Number 12. Rumors swirled before the season began that Rodgers was unhappy with the Packers’ management. While he ultimately suited up for his 17th season with the Green and Gold, he missed a game after contracting COVID-19 and drew negative attention off the field for comments he made about his vaccination status.
It remains unclear if Rodgers will return to Lambeau Field in the fall.

A former Badger also took home some hardware at the 2022 NFL Honors. TJ Watt was named the Defensive Player of the Year.
Watt shared a hug with his brother JJ on stage after the elder Watt read his brother’s name.
“You deserve it,” JJ told TJ.
