He’s still nursing a grudge against Alex Smith

Aaron Rodgers had such a strong desire to be chosen for the San Francisco 49ers squad at the selection of the National Football League clubs, but Alex Smith was chosen despite his strong performance. This story is considered one of the most interesting facts about Aaron Rodgers. The San Francisco 49ers coaching staff included Mike McCarthy, the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, who decided to go with Alex Smith over Rodgers.

The conflict between the two soon after began. Other team coaches admitted in interviews that they had no idea the person they had rejected had become so well-known for his accomplishments. In his professional career, Smith scored 142 touchdowns. No small task. But in the same era, Rodgers scored 257 points. He still reminded McCarthy 14 years later that he selected the incorrect quarterback in the draft.

Despite having accomplished so much in his life, Aaron constantly pushes himself to explore new training techniques. The technique Aaron Rodgers' trainer employs involves tapping potato chips on his heels to keep him alert while training.
