Aaron Rodgers Coldly Destroyed His Professor Who Once Deliberately Failed the “Entitled Athlete”

The landscape of American football would have been different if Aaron Rodgers had gotten expelled from UC Berkeley. Rodgers was once very close form getting ejected from his course. A professor once used her bitter words to demean the young quarterback’s dream. But it only gave him added motivation to achieve his dream.

The future Hall of Famer appeared on a podcast episode with Joe Rogan last year. In their three-hour-long conversation, the Super Bowl-winning QB recounted the time when a professor treated him unfairly.

Aaron Rodgers’ brutally proved his professor wrong

Rodgers seemed especially upset about the fact that the teacher, whose name he didn’t mention, unfairly punished him for wrongly citing a paper. The Jets QB had claimed that he was treated more severely than other students as he was an athlete. While recalling how cruelly the professor had crushed his dream of playing in the NFL, he also sounded both enraged and triumphant.

“She ripped me apart,” the QB said about the meeting he had with the professor during meeting hours. He said that she called him an “entitled athlete.” “You expect things to be given to you. What are are you going to with your life?” she had told Aaron. To this, he had replied, “I’m going to play in the NFL.” She then stated, “No way in hell.” 

The QB proved his professor wrong and went on to become of the greatest and most talented athlete in the league.

A former Jets legend has unshakable faith in A-Rod

The former Green Bay Packers star quarterback was traded to the New York Jets on Monday. This information relieved the Jets’ fans. Everyone is excited about the move and will look at his performance with eagle eyes throughout the season. One former New York icon was giddy when he heard the news.

Joe Namath, the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback, served as the starting signal-caller for the Jets. He also led the team to its only Super Bowl win in 1969. When he gave a telephone interview to ESPN, while talking about Rodgers, he said, “Oh, I know he could. Yes, he’s capable, absolutely. He can pick that team up. He’s one of the best players — one of the greatest players — I’ve ever seen in my life.”

He thinks that the back-to-back MVP-winning QB will positively impact New York. The team, amid the longest playoff drought in its franchise history (12 years), will get help from Rodgers this season.

Even though Namath had given his blessing to take No. 12, Rodgers kindly declined and said, “No. 12 is Broadway Joe.” Therefore, confirming that he will play his college number, No. 8. Hence, not only did Aaron Rodgers build a successful career in the NFL for himself, but he also earned recognition from legends like Joe Namath. We wonder what his professor would have to say about this now.
