The legend of Aaron Rodgers has grown in recent years, but at one point it sounds like he was a pretty cocky rookie.
According to Jeff Pearlman's Brett Favre bio, via Pro Football Talk, aside from reportedly calling the NFL legend "grandpa" at first introduction, Rodgers also reportedly had this interaction while bragging about his 35 on the Wonderlic:
"Brett, what did you get?" Rodgers eventually asked Favre during a quarterbacks meeting.
"I have no idea," Favre said.
"I do," Rodgers replied. "I looked it up. You got a 22."
That's when Favre reportedly said to a teammate "F***ing wonderlic score. Do you believe that s***? I run circles around his ass."
That prompted then-wideout Donald Driver to track down Rodgers and say, "Aaron, we get it. You're smart. Now shut the f*** up."
Rodgers seems like a pretty laid back guy, but if these reports are true, it's not a good look for the younger MVP.
