In a recent EA Sports Opening Drive event, Williams named Aaron Rodgers as the second-best quarterback of all time, placing Tom Brady at number one. Williams lauds Brady’s seven Super Bowls and two-team success, then credits Rodgers with elite longevity and multiple MVP awards, noting Rodgers’ future in the league as he enters a 22nd season. This assessment is notable given Williams’ Bears-Packer rivalry and Williams’ admiration for Rodgers’ playstyle—mobility, improvisation, and side-armed throws—which Williams exemplified with a memorable late-game playoff throw.
Key takeaways:
– Williams’ standout second NFL season boosted him to Madden 27 cover status, highlighting his rise from a rough rookie year to a franchise-caliber quarterback.
– Williams publicly elevates Aaron Rodgers to the second-best QB of all time, offering context on Rodgers’ MVP pedigree, longevity, and style comparison to Williams’ own game.
– The Bears’ potential future matchups with Rodgers’ teams add intrigue, especially if a Bears-Packers/Steelers-are in play for postseason alignment.
