Work and Play Where You Are

As a high school football player in Chico, California, Aaron was pretty good. But graduation came and not a single major college had a scholarship for him. Today, of course, Aaron Rodgers is the Green Bay Packers quarterback—named Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XLV.
