NFL: 30 greatest seasons from players 30 and older

NFL: 30 greatest seasons from players 30 and older: 10. Aaron Rodgers, 2016

Aaron Rodgers is one of the most efficient NFL quarterbacks of all-time. As a result, his career passer rating is the best in league history at 103.9 since entering the NFL back in 2005. Like many great quarterbacks before him, Rodgers was forced to ride the bench for three straight seasons prior to becoming a starter (which is to be expected when Brett Favre is starting ahead of you).

Despite being a former first-round pick, Rodgers had zero starts and just 35 pass attempts in his first three seasons. However, it didn’t take long for Packers fans to think of Farve as an afterthought. Immediately upon becoming the full-time starter in 2008, Rodgers was already one of the more efficient quarterbacks in the league. While he was already on a Hall of Fame pace in his 20s, his 30s were even kinder to him.

In 2016 at the age of 33, Rodgers had arguably the second-best season of his entire career. Though he fell just short of Matt Ryan in the MVP race, Rodgers was doing a lot with little around him. While his yards per attempt came back down to earth (7.3), he compiled 4,428 passing yards to go with 40 touchdowns and just 7 interceptions.

Rodgers once again boasted the best touchdown-to-interception ratio in the league to go with his 104.2 passer rating and 8.1 air yards per attempt. The future Hall of Famer may have led his team to just a 10-6 record, but he led an offense that averaged 36.0 points per game over their first two playoff victories in 2016 before falling to Atlanta in the NFC Championship game.
