Aaron Rodgers spoke about who he considers the best player he has faced in his career during an event in Austin. For the quarterback, the distinction goes to one of his great teammates from his time with the Green Bay Packers.

“Probably Charles Woodson. Just practice against him. He’s the best player I’ve ever played against. Hall of Famer. He transformed the game. A guy who could blitz off the edge, who could cover outside, who could cover in the slot, who could force fumbles. He was a menace in practice. A man of his craft. Tireless worker. So, he’s the best player I played against.”

Rodgers and Woodson won the Super Bowl together in Arlington, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers. For Aaron, the star defensive player was impressive during practices and, as a result, the toughest opponent he ever faced.
