Aaron Rodgers’ MVP comments draw criticism from Rob Gronkowski

Aaron Rodgers made it known during his Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show that he believed he could still win his fifth NFL MVP award, saying he had to be in “the right position” to do so. Former NFL star Rob Gronkowski, however, shared some advice for Rodgers and said he should focus on something else: the Super Bowls.

“As a brother, why do you think MVP? You don’t want the Super Bowl? Super Bowls, I think, are five times more important than an MVP award,” Gronkowski said on Up & Adams. He added that he was “a bit confused” by the comment because more people would know how many Super Bowls Rodgers has won compared to MVPs.

It’s a good point from Gronkowski — Rodgers hasn’t played in a Super Bowl since the 2010 campaign, the only time he made an appearance on football’s biggest stage. The Packers won the game in 2011, outscoring the Steelers, 31-25, but even with Rodgers in the lead, they haven’t come back since.

Rodgers has yet to make a final decision on his career future, whether that means retiring, staying with the Packers or moving to another team.

“Do I still think I can play? Sure,” Rodgers told McAfee, in the quote discussed by Gronkowski. “Can I play at a high level? Yeah, the highest. I think I can win MVP again in the right situation. Good location, is it Green Bay or is it somewhere else? I am not sure. But I don’t think you should close an opportunity. But as I said during the season, it takes both sides to really want to work together to move forward.
