Aaron Rodgers is on his way to becoming the third legendary quarterback in the modern era of the Green Bay Packers after Bart Starr and Brett Favre.

He just finished his 10th Organized Team Activities as the preseason gets underway and when it ended, he met with reporters in front of his locker and talked about everything from his win on Jeopardy to the aesthetic of his calf that was injured last season to Mike McCarthy giving up calling the plays.

The one thing that didn’t get discussed was his relationship with actor Olivia Munn.

But the reporters asked a number of questions that he answered frankly. Consider this a Milwaukee Talks (light version).

Question: What was the whole "Jeopardy" experience like?

Aaron Rodgers: It was fun. I didn’t expect it to go that way (win) until I got into the rules meeting since I was obviously the bigger fan of the show.

Question: Was the whole clicking thing difficult.

AR:  If you don’t know the answer you do it after a guy has answered just to look like you know it. You have to click in right after (Alex) Trebek finishes a sentence.

Question: Were you nervous?

AR: Not at the start. You play two games. One is a practice game where Jimmy from the Clues Crew is the host. And I felt very confident in that, going into final Jeopardy and I had a ton of money, about three times what I had in the end. Once the lights went on and Johnny Gilbert introduced Alex Trebek it was a little nerve wracking for sure. The MACC fund got  $50,000 and I got to prove the doubters wrong who think that most jocks are not the smartest guys.

Question: Mike McCarthy said this is the best base of veterans he has ever had in Green Bay. Has it looked that way to you, too?

AR: It’s only two days into OTAs and we’ve had good workouts. There are lots of veteran guys here. The team did a good job bringing back Bryan Bulaga and John Kuhn and obviously Randall Cobb is back in the mix. And we have B.J. Raji coming back. There is a lot of veteran leadership. Many times around here the word "best" is said, but still you have to temper your expectations until training camp starts and then again when preseason games get here and then again when we are playing for real.

Question: Do you feel like you are ready to go this year?

AR: Last year it was a little more difficult to get into shape. I felt a little older going into my 10th year. This year  I feel that I’m a lot older than maybe the youngest guys. It seems like there’s a little more of a gap than in the past.  That’s the nature of the business.

Question: What effect do you think it will have on you with McCarthy not calling the plays.

AR: I don’t there will be much of an effect. Tom (Clements, the offensive coordinator for the past three years) and I have a great rapport as the quarterback to the quarterback coach. I think they’ve got to iron out who’s going to be down on the field who’s gonna be in the box. Who’s going to be looking at the pictures on the bench.  Mike will be able to do more working with the special teams and the defense.

Question: Will you have more freedom?

AR: I’ve always had a lot of freedom. Occasionally the personnel groupings restrict the checks you can make. But having freedom is a natural progression for a quarterback.  I’ve always liked a good starting point for a play and then I have the ability to get us in a better play if you can do it quickly and it’s a better play.

Question: What do you get out of OTAs?

AR: I think you start to see some of the talent flashing. You can work on your leadership. I do a lot of watching, lI see the the new schemes and you can look at how they will work against certain teams. You start to look at things you put in  and project how they’ll work against specific teams, against certain defenses.

Question: What do  you do in the off season?

AR: Every year I try to build off things you’ve been doing. I’ve always enjoyed yoga. I think as  you get older you have to watch what you eat and how you sleep. We stress taking care of your body the right way. Kind of wish they had given it to us when we were younger. It’s nice to be back. I wish my calf would look a little better . That’s kind of always been my calling card, nice looking calves. (Big smile on his face) Hopefully at some point that will return. I have no restrictions on my body. My calf hasn’t fully aesthetically come back to where it was. It took a couple of months until I could do full workouts.

Question: Every year it seems like most of the guys show up for the OTAs.

AR: As long as Mike’s been here I think we’ve had a great participation in the off season. I think over the years we’ve only had a couple of guys who didn’t a majority of their time in here during the off season. This is the fun time of the year when the team takes shape and the chemistry comes together. There’s a couple of offenses. There’s one on paper and one you do during the game. This is the time you build the bridge between the two.

Question: Are you still thinking about Seattle or the new team this year?

AR: This feels like a new team. This is a different team.  Some guys are gone. Some guys are new. Come the fall there will be great competition for roster spots. Obviously a loss like that one, or any loss in the playoffs is not a loss that goes away. But you have to take those frustrating moments and build on them and take positives from it.   

Question: Did you follow deflate-gate? And do you think there should be limits on the way a football is inflated?

AR: You can’t help but follow it. I didn’t read the report. There are always gonna be stories. I think they should have rules on PSI as far as a low range. My frustration is when you submit balls at the high range and then air gets taken out of them. Because of my hands and grip size I’ve always liked a ball filled to the maximum size. High end of the range. A ball on the lower end may be easier to catch or limit fumbles. But don’t think you gain any advantage if you have it at the high range.

Question: Were you surprised McCarthy gave up the play calling and what do you think about his decision.

AR: I think he’s been thinking about it for a few years now. I think he’s wanted to get a little closer to other areas of the team. And when you are doing the play calling

Having the ability to have eyes on what they are doing on the defensive side of the ball and special teams and to know it was a time to do it seamlessly. In order for him to give it up he has to have a small edge. But Mike has always been about the team. He thinks it’s in the best interest of the football team and just keep on trying to be a very dangerous offense.
