"And I'm like, 'The GOAT, Rodgers, wants to trade jerseys with me? I'm coming off my rookie year.' To me, it's a great sign of respect, just the type of guy he is, that he could recognize such a young player in the league. So I have nothing but respect for him, and he's become one of my favorite players just because of that moment."
"I saw Hall of Fame potential,' Rodgers said this week. 'Obviously he's fulfilled that. He's an incredible player, one of the rare guys overall in the 21 years I've been a part of it, 18 as a starter, that you've got to account for on every play. I can probably count them on one hand and maybe get into the second hand if you go back to the Jared Allens and Julius Peppers."
Micah Parsons received Aaron Rodgers' jersey after the Packers beat the Cowboys in Week 10 of 2022. Parsons saw the jersey swap as a deep sign of respect and has since counted Rodgers among his favorite players because of that moment. Rodgers said he saw Hall of Fame potential in Parsons and compared him to elite pass rushers such as Jared Allen and Julius Peppers, noting that Parsons must be accounted for on every play. Parsons did not record a sack or hit on Rodgers in that 2022 meeting, and Parsons is in his first season with the Packers.
