Josh Allen Gives Honest Assessment of Aaron Rodgers Before Final Season

The Bills' Josh Allen delivered his honest review of the Steelers' Aaron Rodgers as he enters his final season.

Aaron Rodgers, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback entering his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been interviewed by Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen on SiriusXM's Mad Dog Sports Radio. Allen, in describing Rodgers, acknowledged that he is "one of the all-time greats, if not the all-time great." He praised Rodgers for his exceptional throwing skills and called him "fun to watch." Allen further affirmed Rodgers' greatness by stating, "One of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time."

Rodgers' impressive career stats include four NFL Most Valuable Player awards, 10 Pro Bowl selections, leading the league in passer rating four times, and twice in passing touchdowns. He won one Super Bowl ring with Mike McCarthy during their tenure with the Green Bay Packers, a record that Allen acknowledges but does not consider Rodgers the greatest of all-time. Rodgers currently ranks fifth in career passing yards, trailing only Tom Brady, who retired years ago with an even more impressive tally of 89,214 yards.

Allen recognized the impact Rodgers will have on the NFL despite not expecting him to surpass Brady's record. He will get to see Rodgers at the Bills-Steelers preseason game on the NFL Network, where they will be on the sidelines. The interview concluded with the possibility of a postseason matchup if their teams perform well in the regular season.
