50 free Aaron Rodgers trivia questions with answers — sports quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Aaron Rodgers left high school with no Division I offers, played a year at a junior college 15 miles from home, got to Cal because a coach was scouting somebody else, then sat in the draft green room while 23 teams passed on him. Three years behind Brett Favre followed, and then he became the most efficient passer the NFL has seen: a Super Bowl MVP, four league MVPs, the highest single-season passer rating ever and a record 402 straight throws without an interception. These 50 questions cover the whole ride: Chico and Pleasant Valley High, Jeff Tedford, the 49ers' Alex Smith pick, the Championship Belt, the Boyz II Men bet, R-E-L-A-X, the Miracle in Motown, the six-touchdown half against Chicago, the 2011 15-1 season, the State Farm ads, Celebrity Jeopardy!, the Milwaukee Bucks stake, the four-snap Jets debut, the 500th touchdown pass and the Steelers' No. 8. Easy questions stick to the headlines; the expert tier asks about Vonta Leach, the 13 screws, the 93-yard touchdown and 12/12/12. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss. Play it solo or print it for a football night.
