I actually had the chance, when he first started with the Packers. It was during "OTA's" (organized team activities). A bunch of us fans were standing by the fenced in parking area where the players park, when Rodgers got out of his vehicle and started walking to the locker room. Everyone was yelling for him to come over to sign autographs, and he ignored it.........that is, until i started singing "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" (the theme song from "Mr. Rodgers") at the top of my lungs! He stopped dead in his tracks, everyone started laughing, and he laughed and pointed at me and said "If you don't stop singing that song, i'm not going to sign!" He then came right over and started signing! He signed my mini helmet for me, and i said "Thank you Mr. Rodgers", he said to me "No "Mr. Rodgers", Mr. Rodgers is my Dad, i'm JUST Aaron!"
I liked him right away.
I hope he keeps up that attitude and doesn't let it blow his ego up.
