Rodgers said he'll use doubters as motivation in his rehabilitation from Achilles tendon surgery and indicated he'll play football again — perhaps even this season.
"I think what I'd like to say is, give me the doubts," Rodgers said on ESPN's"The Pat McAfee Show.""Give me the timetables. Give me all the things that you think can, should or will happen because all I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That's all I need.
Rodgers had surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, an orthopedic surgeon based in Los Angeles who has worked with numerous professional athletes during his career. The 39-year-old quarterback faces a long, arduous recovery and rehabilitation from the injury.
