Could history repeat itself for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers?
The quarterback seems to think so.
The last time Rodgers missed significant playing time, in 2013, he followed it up with his second league MVP and the Packers came within a whisker of making it to the Super Bowl.
Rodgers won’t make any predictions about the team’s fortunes, but he expects to have another MVP campaign.
He wasn’t too thrilled with quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt leaving, but being reunited with Joe Philbin should help iron out any remaining rinkles between Rodgers and the team.
Meanwhile, the Packers should be preparing to ramp up the competition for the backup spot behind Rodgers. Brett Hundley’s performance in Rodgers’ absence left much to be desired and should the starting quarterback get injured again, they’ll want to be in position to still make a run at the Super Bowl like the Philadelphia Eagles just did.
