Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still fueled by how far his draft stock dropped back in 2005. Rodgers fell to the Packers with the 24th overall pick back in 2005 and then spent three seasons behind Brett Favre in Green Bay. When the Packers finally took him off the board, Rodgers took to heart advice given to him by former 49ers safety Merton Hanks. "He said, 'I played my entire career with a chip on my shoulder,' " recalled Rodgers. "He said, 'It fueled me. Do the same.' "I think about his words and also the words of (then NFL commissioner) Paul Tagliabue, who said, 'Good things come to those who wait.' Those two conversations I think kind of exemplify my career on the field."
