It's been five years since Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers won the Lombardi Trophy, but heading into the 2015-16 campaign, the quarterback believes the team has plenty of talent to win the Super Bowl again.
Rodgers led Green Bay to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Super Bowl XLV to cap the 2010-11 campaign and took home Super Bowl MVP honors. With another season just a few months away, he has championship dreams once again.
"I think the talent is definitely there," Rodgers said about potentially winning it all Tuesday, according to ESPN. "But just like last year, you've got to see how the team comes together."
Rodgers, 31, is sitting with one Super Bowl win, but he hasn't brought the Packers back to the Promised Land since, though the team made it to the NFC Championship Game last season.
Rodgers has five years remaining on his $110 million contract, but he's looking to win now and he's confident after nearly getting back to the Super Bowl last year that this group can get together and win it all.
"When the team really comes together and believes in itself, guys raise their level of play," Rodgers said. "So it will be interesting to see how this team comes together. It's very important that we find a way to jell together the next couple of weeks and into training camp when we get back."
Rodgers was slowed by a strained left calf late last season, but is said to be healthy coming into the new campaign.
Rodgers won the MVP Award for the second time in the last four years in 2014 after going 341-for-520 (65.6 percent) for 4,381 yards with 38 touchdowns and five interceptions through 16 games. He guided Green Bay to a 12-4 record and its fourth consecutive NFC North title.
The signal caller was 43-of-69 (62.3 percent) for 494 yards with four scores and two picks in the postseason as the Packers downed the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 and fell to the Seattle Seahawks 28-22.
Still, Rodgers knows it isn't easy to win it all and he could potentially end his career with one title as nothing is guaranteed in the NFL.
"Well, I don't like to think in those terms," Rodgers said about possibly being stuck on one championship for his entire career. "I'd like to think we're going to get back there and win another one. I'd be disappointed if we didn't because you put a lot into it, and we feel like we've been close a few times and had some good teams and let a couple slip away. So it would be disappointing to not get back there, but I'm trying to avoid that and get back there as quick as possible and win another one."
