Notebook | Former Teammate Kurt Benkert in Awe of Aaron Rodgers' 'Hidden Attributes'

As a 20-something quarterback signed by the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2021 NFL season, Kurt Benkert will be the first to admit that his initial encounter with Aaron Rodgers was a bit unique. "Going in for camp, I got into the bathroom and he's walking up right next to me at a urinal," Benkert said. Over four professional seasons (after a collegiate career at East Carolina and Virginia) Benkert signed with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent bounced from the practice squad to injured reserve to the practice squad without ever appearing in a game.
