Yes, sometimes when I get the sharp stabbing pain, you can see my reaction. And no, I'm not young, I'm 58.
When I was in my 20's and 30's, I probably could "hide" being hurt more easily then now.
Now, having been hit by a car, and getting multiple injuries, it's not so easy to hide.
When I had open heart surgery 7 years ago, I went through therapy. Even my heart surgeon was surprised at how good I did. He said most people had to be "told" to walk, to work out. Me, I wanted to get better and worked my rear end off trying to do so. I lost 40 pounds and looked pretty good. People that didn't know me were shocked when they heard of how close to death I was.
I bet Rodgers did his best to not let on to anyone just how much he was hurt or how it affected his game. Otherwise you KNOW there are players out there that would target his knee.
Look at how few times he took off running compared to other seasons. I bet that had a lot to do with it.
