Aaron Rodgers isn’t the most outspoken quarterback in the NFL, but he might just be the most competitive.

The Packers QB has called himself “obsessively competitive,” claims to remember every interception he’s ever thrown, will sometimes go days without talking to his teammates because of locker-room card-game disputes, and once dropped an f-bomb on “Celebrity Jeopardy!” after missing a question. (He went on to win, of course.)

This sort of competitiveness is what helped an undersized high schooler with no Division 1 scholarship offers go from playing junior-college football to winning two regular season MVPs and a Super Bowl MVP. It’s what makes the Packers a Super Bowl contender year in and year out, and what makes Rodgers arguably the best quarterback on the planet.

This year, after a 4-6 start, Rodgers said his team could run the table. They won their last six game, and on Sunday play the Cowboys for a spot in the NFC Championship.

Here are 24 anecdotes to illustrate just how competitive the Green Bay quarterback really is.
