The Packers' recent quarterback history reads like a synopsis of events from the Jedi Temple in Star Wars. From Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. From Qui-Gon Jinn to Obi-Wan Kenobi to Anakin Skywalker. Green Bay, still employing a capable starter in a 36-year-old Favre, drafted his eventual successor in Rodgers in the first round of the 2005 NFL draft. Years later, Green Bay, rolling with a 38-year-old Rodgers fresh off of an MVP campaign, selected his eventual successor in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft in Love. And, keeping with the Star Wars theme, just like Skywalker, both Favre and Rodgers eventually soured to the ways of the Packers (the Jedi) and went to the dark side (other teams).
That inevitably meant that former Padawan and Jedi Master would come face-to-face. And indeed, such a showdown came to fruition years ago, and history is set to repeat itself yet again when Rodgers's Steelers face off against Love's Packers in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season.
