Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the hardest hit he has taken in football came last season when the Carolina Panthers played the Packers on Nov. 30 at Lambeau Field.

"I don't even know who it was," Rodgers told The Sporting News. "It was one of Carolina's linebackers last year. He hit me in the chest on a pass. A five-step quick pass. As I threw it, he got his helmet up underneath my arm. I couldn't protect myself quickly enough. He drove me into the ground. My sternum was sore for five weeks after that. It hurt to throw; it hurt to go to sleep. It wasn't broken. It hurt like hell, though."

Tom Brady once said that the Panthers hit the hardest... Yeah even more than the Steelers, Ravens etc

Kudos to Rodgers for not calling it the cheap shot that it was.

it wasn't a cheap shot he had already faked like he was heading out of bounds in previous games.the one time peppers played hard all the way to the whistle and was a helleva hit.

Aaron Rodgers is still inbounds until he touches down out of bounds FTW.

Good! Glad to hear it! Hope all 30 other QB's heard about it too.

Rodgers actually takes hits pretty well but he's young yet.

You never saw Farve cry about how hard he was hit.

How far the Packers have fallen.....

he is not talking about the peppers hit, I don't know where you guys got that.

he clearly says, he took a 5 step drop and got rid of the ball, and that it was a LBer.

davis maybe?

I don't think he was crying about anything. I'm sure he was just asked about his hardest hit, and just decided to tell about it. I'd rather him tell it like it is and give credit to the guy who hit him than to act like some cowboy and say that no hit has ever hurt him.

I met Rodgers a few weeks ago at a wedding and I actually got to hang out with him for most of the night. Really cool guy.

pep had committed already, so imagine if he had pulled up on him how much hell he would have caught.if you going 110% mistakes are well covered up.

Agree 100%. I believe this was originally taken from a TSN Q & A I read in the mag recently. If that is the case, he was asked the Q and he A ed..no more.

Bah... no cheap shot... a bit late, yes... he had already committed to the play... oh well.
