Ian O'Connor joined the 'Brian Kilmeade Show' to talk about his new biography on Aaron Rodgers, which explores the complex relationship between Brett Favre and Rodgers.
Draft day did not go how Aaron Rodgers thought it would. Rodgers was expected to be a top pick for several weeks leading into the draft, and it looked like the Cal product was going to get drafted no. 1 overall by his hometown team: the San Francisco 49ers. Instead, Rodgers took a draft day tumble and fell all the way to 23rd overall, where he was selected by the Green Bay Packers.
Speaking to 'FOX & Friends' host Brian Kilmeade on the 'Brian Kilmeade Show,' Ian O’Connor spoke about this pivotal moment in Rodgers' career, which he documented in his new biography titled 'Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers' 'It was humiliating. And it was on national TV, obviously. That was the first NFL Draft, that was a reality show.' His welcome to the Packers was also less than ideal.
Prior to last season, the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets, so Jordan Love could ascend to the starting position. Rodgers played four snaps with the Jets before tearing his Achilles in the season opener. The Packers open the 2024 season against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil on Sept. 6, while Rodgers’ Jets will travel out west to San Fransisco to play the 49ers on Sept. 9 to begin their season.
