Aaron Rodgers dropped to the 24th pick in the 2005 NFL Draft for a number of baseless reasons: his perceived inability to thrive outside of Cal’s system, a rigid throwing motion, blah blah. One scout said: “He’s a system quarterback. Can’t create on his own. Panics under pressure. Gets flustered easily.”
In their defense, it’s kind of tough to get on board with a guy who rocked the Lloyd Christmas cut in college.

Fast forward a decade, and the Cal alum is a Super Bowl Champion, MVP, the NFL’s all-time career leader in passer rating during the regular season, and previously boned Olivia Munn. A true rags to riches tale.
He also has a knack for making head-scratingly accurate throws down the field.
Lucky toss? Nah bruh. This one is from last year’s training camp…

Give me 1,000 tries and I wouldn’t come within a court ordered restraining order of hitting that net.
