Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the 20th most dominant athlete alive. This according to Business Insider.
What does Business Insider know about athletics or athletes? I do not know.
Nonetheless, they tried to put together a list of the 50 most dominant athletes throughout the world and across sports. They also said they valued recent performance over the full body of work.
Here’s what they have to say about Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers is a miracle-worker on the field, pulling out more unlikely victories from the jaws of the defeat than any quarterback not named Brady. In 2016 he proved his prowess amidst a sea of doubters yet again, rattling off six straight wins to finish the season and win the NFC North after starting 4-6 on the year. The NFL world is almost in complete agreement: when it comes to individual talent, Rodgers rules the quarterback position.
Rodgers isn’t the top-ranked football player on the list. As you likely guessed, that’s Tom Brady. He came in at No. 4.
The top three go like this.
- swimmer Katie Ledecky
- soccer player Christiano Ronaldo
- gymnast Simone Biles
