GREEN BAY -- Aaron Rodgers has a ways to go before retirement -- the Green Bay Packers quarterback turns 30 in December -- but if he wants to be a television analyst once his playing career is over, NBC's Tony Dungy thinks he's got a future.
Dungy, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts coach, [URL=http://mmqb.si.com/2013/10/02/nfl-media-notes-richard-deitsch/" target="_blank]told Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated's theMMQB.com[/URL] that after working with Rodgers on the Super Bowl XLVI pregame show after the 2011 season, he believes Rodgers would do very well on TV. Rodgers has said in the past that he wants to "semi-disappear" after his playing career ends.
"We had Aaron Rodgers a couple of years ago with us for the Super Bowl and he and Hines Ward did a great job for us," said Dungy, who serves as an analyst on NBC'sFootball Night In America. "I rehearsed with Aaron and he picked things up really well. He knows the game well and he has a sneaky, funny personality. I know he would be good at it if he ever decided to do this."
