Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to play until he's 40 and beyond.
That's rare feat, but with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady having just turned 40 and showing no signs of slowing down it would be unwise to bet against Rodgers.
What will be his secret to such longevity? Yoga and a healthy diet, according to the quarterback himself. With mobility such an important part of his game, keeping his legs intact and strong will be crucial for Rodgers going forward.
Having the same head coach for all but one season of his career won't hurt either. Like Brady with Bill Belichick, Rodgers having Mike McCarthy with him his entire career will help keep things steady and consistent.
While the Green Bay duo hasn't reach the level of success of their New England counterparts, you know Rodgers and McCarthy want to add a fifth Lombardi Trophy to Lambeau Field. That's the only way the outside critics will be silenced.
More on this and others in today's cheese curds.
