Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Packers hope they have found the heir apparent to Brett Favre, who turns 36 in October but will play at least one more season. ... Although some scouts have expressed concern about his size and mechanics, Rodgers has superior accuracy, completing 64 percent of his passes over the last two seasons, and showed his athleticism by running the 40-yard dash in 4.71 seconds at the scouting combine. He is another quarterback product of Cal coach Jeff Tedford, following Kyle Boller, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Akili Smith and Trent Dilfer. ... Rodgers was named All-Pac 10 last season after completing 209-of-316 passes for 2,566 yards and 24 touchdowns with eight interceptions.
