The former Packers Aaron Rodgers can still recall his 18-year magical journey with the Packers, but now that Jordan Love has taken over his position, Sean Clifford, a rookie for the Packers, has moved into his locker room.
Rodgers already had a reputation as a leader who inspired others. When the Packers gave their 18-year veteran quarterback Love priority, he kept influencing Love for the future as the starting quarterback. Now that Clifford is about to take Clifford’s locker room, the 39-year-old has sent an incredible gift to the rookie as a blessing for the upcoming season.
Sean Clifford gets Aaron Rodgers’s locker
The former Penn State quarterback began his NFL career after being selected in the fifth round out of Penn State, but as soon as he joined the team, he successfully seized another item belonging to his former legendary quarterback, which was Aarons’ locker room.
The fact that Clifford’s NFL career began with such a big surprise may have surprised him and he appreciated A-Rod’s contribution to the team while making a promise to perfectly honor the space that served as a reminder of his extraordinary journey.
“I understand who was in here before,” Clifford said in May, “and I respect everything about that, but at the same time, I came in, I found my name on the plate, and I sat down. I’m doing whatever it takes to win games here. I’m very appreciative of the opportunity.
Aaron Rodgers’ touching gesture to Sean Clifford
The one-time Super Bowl champion made sure to greet the Packers’ rookie player as Clifford received the room he had occupied for his entire NFL career. The quarterback had previously welcomed Clifford by saying, “Welcome to Green Bay. How’s my locker, by the way?” through a documentary video clip.
Now, the Jets player again stunned Clifford by sending a signed jersey with the wonderful message, “Welcome to GB! Enjoy that great city & my locker!” The Packers’ rookie quarterback was so overjoyed with the gift that he tweeted about it to let his followers know.

Despite the unsatisfactory way that Aaron’s time with the Packers ended, the veteran quarterback never lost sight of them, and Sean understood and appreciated the gift by honoring him.
