When Aaron Rodgers isn’t busy winning awards on the field, he is busy raising millions of dollars for numerous charities.

Aaron Rodgers, quarterback and number 12 for the Green Bay Packers, has been called one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

Rodgers is a four-time Pro Bowl player (2009, 2011, 2012, 2014), Super Bowl MVP and Champion (2011), two-time NFL MVP (2011, 2014), two-time NFC offensive player of the year (2011, 2014), two-time FedEx Air NFL Player of the Year (2010, 2014), and he also received the Bart Starr Award (2014). He became the first quarterback to throw for more than 4,000 yards in each of his first two seasons as a starter for the Packers, He has been ranked no less than fifth in the NFL passing yards and touchdowns since 2008. He also became only the fourth quarterback in NFL history to throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns in a Super Bowl. And I am sure I am missing a few more.

So far this season, 2015, Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 2,270 yards, 21 touchdowns, a rating of 103.4, and only three interceptions through week nine.

What Aaron Rodgers has accomplished on the field is absolutely remarkable; however, what he has accomplished off the field is what should be more published.

He has partnered with Raise Hope for Congo, he is an activist for the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC) fund, he is involved with Young Life and the Make-A-Wish foundation and he has also partnered with David Gruber to create itsAaron.com — a website dedicated to building awareness for organizations and people who are making a difference in their communities.

He also attends multiple charity events including Jordy Nelson’s (#87 for the Green Bay Packers) charity softball game. Aaron continues this outreach by inviting dozens of children with life-threatening medical conditions to come watch practice and meet him and the rest of the team.

In an interview with jsonline.com, Aaron was asked how we wanted to leave his legacy, he responded with, “Being a well-rounded player has always been important to me, being a guy who's doing the right stuff in the community and representing the team the right way. That's what I try to pass on to the young guys — how important it is when you leave this place, to uphold the legacy of the guys who played here before and realize when you're out and about you're representing the Green Bay Packers. That's a privilege and that's a special privilege. And then on the field, it's about consistency. It's always been my approach every single day in trying to be a leader and trying to be as great as I can be. I strive to be a great player and a good leader and go out there every day and be as consistent as possible and let my play do the talking.”

He is the perfect type of role model to, not just people in professional athletics, but to people all over. Rodgers is a stand-up guy on and off the field, and his off-field work deserves to be more recognized.
