Aaron Rodgers Letterman Video: Watch Rodgers’ Appearance on Tonight Show
We've got the Aaron Rodgers Letterman video for you today, after the Super Bowl MVP made an appearance on The Late Show the day after making an appearance in a victory parade at Walt Disney World.
It's been a wild ride for Rodgers this postseason, as the Packers quarterback announced his arrival into the realm of the NFL's elite passers. With Green Bay's 31-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Super Bowl Sunday, Rodgers became an instant celebrity and began making the rounds.
Rodgers and Dave talked about the quarterback's struggles getting to a Division I college, after getting no scholarship offers out of high school.
"I played baseball my senior year of high school," Rodgers said, "So I thought about doing that, or maybe joining the military."
Instead, he opted to head to Butte Community College, which of course prompted Letterman to make the obligatory, "So you were playing with grown men and criminals, right?" joke.
He talked about injured cornerback Charles Woodson, one of Green Bay's defensive stalwarts, and how he was able to pick the veteran's morale up after he suffered a broken collarbone on Sunday.
The quarterback exhibited the same kind of poise under pressure that he'd shown in Dallas on Sunday, fielding questions and quips from the venerable host with a casual, laid-back demeanor. He flashed his sense of humor, talking about how guys still didn't know the plays in the huddle, and how Mike McCarthy likes to call plays that work more than once.
In the end, Rodgers managed to get the job done again, delivering another strong performance on the big stage.
