Aaron Rodgers meets Make-A-Wish kid pregame.

I am not sure if there is a more judged player in the NFL than Aaron Rodgers. At least in the sense of personal life decisions, Aaron Rodgers is certainly under a microscope. However, it is moments like these that often go unnoticed or looked over. Aaron Rodgers spent time with a Make-A-Wish child moments before the Packers and Bears kicked off on Sunday Night Football.

If you are unaware, Make-A-Wish is a foundation that helps dreams come true for children with critical illnesses. This is their mission statement:

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

This isn’t even close to the first time that Aaron Rodgers has made an impact with Make-A-Wish. This isn’t even the first time this year, back in April Aaron Rodgers helped make a dream come true. These are the things you love to see with professional athletes, taking even those small moments to make others happy.

Aaron Rodgers has certainly helped within the community literally his entire career. A $38,000 dollar check to the salvation army. Over One Million dollars raised for small businesses that were impacted by wild fires. 33 known charities, foundations, and causes supported. And many, many more that we probably aren’t even aware of. In 2014 he even won a significant award: the Athletes in Action’s Bart Starr Award. This is given annually to the player who best embodies character and leadership both on and off the field.

The narrative that Aaron Rodgers only cares about himself needs to end. Sooner rather than later. His personal views may not be the most common, but that doesn’t take away from the type of person he is.
