The Facts: Rodgers is six years younger than Tom Brady, and seeing Brady continue to play well is giving Rodgers some hope that he can last as long. Rodgers told Evan Daniels that he's been studying the way Brady takes care of himself in the offseason and plans to do the same things Brady does, in the hopes that he lasts as long. "When you've reached the level of success that I have, and we have in Green Bay you continue to have to find ways to reinvent yourself, and adapt, and change, and challenge yourself," Rodgers said.
Diehards Line:
The QB continued: "I’ve been a huge fan of Tom Brady for a long time, and consider him one of the greatest if not the greatest of all time. And he’s doing it at 39. And the way that he takes care of his body is really a model for all quarterbacks. Young quarterbacks and quarterbacks kind of in the middle, the second half of their career like myself, who would love to be 38, 39 or 40 and be playing at a high level and be healthy and have their body where they want it at that age.” As PFT suggests, it’s probably not realistic to think many QBs will play as well as Brady has at the same age. But relying on a similar approach certainly makes sense.
