TODAY’S SPORTSTAT: Packers QBs exhibit longevity

By JERRY TAPP

Let’s start with a trivia quiz.

There has been a lot of speculation the Packers will take another QB in this draft, maybe someone they can work with to eventually succeed Aaron Rodgers.

Back in 2005, the Green Bay Packers selected Rodgers in the first round. Since then, the Pack has chosen five different QBs in the draft from 2006-18. Can you name the five quarterbacks the Packers have chosen in the draft after Rodgers? (Answer at the end of this article)

Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers last season played in his 165^th regular season game with the Packers. He became the third Packers QB to play 165 or more games with the team; Green Bay is the only team in NFL history to have three different QBs play 165 or more career games with the team.

There have been 25 quarterbacks who have played 165 or more games with one team. Seventeen of the 32 NFL teams have had at least QB on this list.

Here are the teams that have had at least one QB in their history play 165 or more games with the team.

Bengals: Kenny Anderson
Broncos: John Elway
Cardinals: Jim Hart
Chargers: Dan Fouts and Philip Rivers
Chiefs: Len Dawson
Colts: Peyton Manning and Johnny Unitas
