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."

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.

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.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
