Considering that he has averaged just under 21 completions per game this season, there’s a good chance that Aaron Rodgers will complete his 5,000th career regular season pass in Sunday’s game against the Lions.
Rodgers enters the game with 4,984 career completions in his 18-year career with the Packers. If you want to talk about some serious “mojo,” wouldn’t it be perfect if #5,000 was a TD pass by Rodgers in the Pack’s final regular season game.
Packers will be only team with two QBs with 5,000 career completions
ARod will become the eighth NFL quarterback to complete 5,000 career passes. He will become the second Packers’ QB to reach 5,000 completions with the team… Brett Favre had 5,377 completions with the team during his 255 games in Green Bay.
Here are the NFL quarterbacks with 5,000 or more completions.
7,740-Tom Brady
7,142-Drew Brees
6,300-Brett Favre
6,125-Peyton Manning
5,551-Matt Ryan
5,440-Ben Roethlisberger
5,277-Philip Rivers
Rodgers has 333 completions this season. It is his 13th season in the league with 300+ completions. He became this season the seventh QB to have 13 or more seasons with 300 or more completions. Brady and Favre top the list with 18 seasons with 300+ completions. The others on the list: Peyton Manning (16 seasons), Brees (15 seasons), Ryan and Rivers (13 seasons each).
