The caption goes on to say how thankful Rodgers was for the "men I got to share the QB room with everyday", including Love and Benkert, and said, "I’m so thankful for the daily laughs and stress relief you brought me every week of the year."
Rodgers addresses the rest of his teammates, past and present, calling them the "icing on the beautiful cake we call our job; football", and said the friendships he's made will "transcend our collective time in this game".
And finally, the MVP addresses "everyone else" with a simple message, "Spread love and gratitude you beautiful people, and read a book once in a while too while you’re at it. Love and peace".
