Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks of his generation due to his accuracy and ability to put the football in the tiniest of windows. As he prepares to try to win his second Super Bowl ring this year, he is going to need to showcase that ability more than ever. He has arguably his best wide receiver duo in DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr, but Rodgers needs to make sure that he can still put that incredible zip on the football. One future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback went out of his way to describe Rodgers as the best passer of the football he has seen. Let’s take a closer look at who it is.
Tom Brady calls Aaron Rodgers the best passer of the football

While appearing on the ‘Stick to Football Podcast’ on Monday, Tom Brady said that Aaron Rodgers is the best thrower of the football he has seen.
“I think there’s no greater passer of the football than Aaron Rodgers. There’s certain people, you see everyone do it, and then you see one person throw the ball that much better. Aaron Rodgers was incredible.”
Brady would go into a bit more detail about what Rodgers does that makes it incredible.
“[It’s] hard to put into words how incredible he passes the ball. The way it comes out of his hand, the way it comes out of his hand, the way it spins and delivers with the pace and the accuracy. … There’s only three people in the history of the NFL that could do it like him.”
The ability to throw the football better than almost anyone on the planet has been a significant reason for Aaron Rodgers to continue playing at 42 years old. He has a career 527:123 touchdown-to-interception ratio and completing 65.1% of his passes. While he is able to put the ball where only his receiver can get it, it has only amounted to one Super Bowl victory in his legendary career for whatever reason.
There was an opportunity for Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers to be part of the same organization in 2025 when the Las Vegas Raiders were searching for a quarterback. However, the Raiders did not focus on Rodgers but rather pursued Matthew Stafford and settled for a trade of Geno Smith. With Aaron Rodgers entering his final NFL season, it will be intriguing to see how Rodgers looks in 2026 and if Brady made the right choice in that department.
