Aaron Rodgers will go down in history as one of the best quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen.

Since being taken as the 24th pick of the 2005 draft, number 12 has guided the Green Bay Packers to unrivaled success. 

WHAT HE'S ACHIEVED IN GREEN BAY

Rodgers himself has been to the Pro Bowl six times in his career, been named the NFL's MVP twice - and holds three of the league's records. 

More impressively though, he led the Packers to Super Bowl glory, winning a world championship following the 2010 season. 

In that game, of course, he was named MVP. 

Incredibly, in 149 games, Rodgers has thrown 313 touchdowns and even rushed in himself for 25 scores. 

Truly, he is a legend of the game and a guaranteed Hall of Famer.  

A NEW CONTRACT 

But Rodgers is far from done. Ahead of the 2018 season, reports are suggesting that he's hoping to be offered a new deal at Lambeau Field. 

Many are arguing that if he does sign a new contract, it should make him the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. In fact, very few are disputing that. 

All of the stats above speak for themselves, but there's also another very impressive part of Rodgers' game that makes him deserving of a record-breaking deal.

The fact that he doesn't throw interceptions. 

AVOIDING INTERCEPTIONS

No QB in NFL history has managed to avoid throwing picks the same way Rodgers has. 

Over his entire 13 year career, he has only thrown 78 interceptions, which means just 1.6% of his passes are turned over. That's the lowest percentage in the league's history. 

Pro Football Talk have put this stat into perspective - and suggest that if he plays until he’s 50 and throws 14 interceptions every year, he’ll still have fewer career interceptions than Brett Favre. 

That is just ridiculous.

RODGER'S AND HIS RECORDS

Ahead of 2018, the Packers QB is ranked 10th in NFL history in passing TDs. Ben Roethlisberger is just ahead of him in ninth. 

But the difference between the pair is that the Pittsburgh Steelers signal-caller has thrown a massive 96 more interceptions that Rodgers. 

Even behind him on the list, quarterbacks have still thrown more. John Elway is one place behind him on career touchdowns - but threw 148 more interceptions to get there. 

Although it's not talked about too often, the ability that Rodgers has to avoid throwing picks is why he will be remembered as one of the greatest to ever play the game of football.
