Hot! Aaron Rodgers

His career passer rating of 98.4 ranks No. 1 in NFL history (min. 1,500 attempts).

Became only the fourth QB in NFL history to throw for 300 yards/three TDs in a Super Bowl, taking home game MVP honors for Green Bay s win over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV.

Posted 12,394 passing yards from 2008-10, which ranks No. 2 in league history behind only Kurt Warner (12,612, 1999-2001) for the most passing yards by a QB in his first three seasons as a starter.

In 47 regular-season starts, has posted 14 games with 300-plus passing yards, 26 without an interception and 25 with a 100-plus passer rating.

Set an NFL postseason record with 10 TD passes in his first three playoff starts, eclipsing the previous mark of nine held by Jeff George, Daryle Lamonica and Dan Marino.

Became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in each of his first two seasons (2008-09) as a starter.

In 2009, nearly broke the franchise s single-season record with 4,434 passing yards, falling just short of Lynn Dickey s 1984 mark of 4,458.

Is one of eight quarterbacks drafted by the Packers in the first round and was the first since Rich Campbell, also from California, was selected in 1981; became just the second player from California (Campbell) taken in the first round by Green Bay as well.

Went 17-5 as a starter at Cal, taking over in Week 5 of the 2003 season.
