Aaron Rodgers ranked sixth in Pro Football Focus’ All-Decade Top 101 players rankings.
Aaron Rodgers was dominant throughout the 2010s, starting with the Green Bay Packers‘ Super Bowl run, and then moving on to two league MVP awards in 2011 and 2014.
Pro Football Focus has ranked the top 101 players in the 2010s, and Rodgers is sixth. He joins three other current and former Packers — Jordy Nelson, Josh Sitton, and David Bakhtiari — who were revealed in the bottom half of the top 101 rankings earlier in the week.
Rodgers’ numbers over the decade say it all. Over the past 10 seasons, he’s thrown 305 touchdown passes with just 63 interceptions. That works out at 30.5 touchdowns and 6.3 interceptions per season. His touchdown average would be even higher had he not missed about half the season in both 2013 and 2017, both years after breaking his collarbone.
And Rodgers’ elite level of play has helped the Packers find consistent success throughout the decade. In seasons he’s started and completed over the past decade, the Packers have only failed to make the playoffs once, in 2018.
They were a playoff team each year from 2010 to 2016, and returned the postseason in 2019.
And they’ve also found plenty of success in January, too. Rodgers led the Packers to Super Bowl victory in 2010 and helped the team reach the NFC Championship Game on four different occasions (2010, 2014, 2016, 2019).
Rodgers has also piled up the individual prizes. Along with his two league MVP awards, he was also named Super Bowl MVP in the 2010 season. He was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times in the decade (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019). On one of the years he missed the Pro Bowl, he made up for it by winning the Super Bowl. The other two seasons, he missed half the year to injury.
Rodgers was named an All-Pro on three occasions (2011, 2012, 2014), twice to the first-team and once the second-team. He was the Associated Press Athlete of the Year in 2011. Rodgers led the NFL in passer rating on two occasions and led the league in touchdown passes once.
Rodgers has done it all. He’s piled up a huge number of individual awards over the past decade, while also helping the Packers find sustained success, which is no easy accomplishment. More important than all, his performance in 2010 helped the Packers win a championship.
