Double congratulations are in order for Aaron, who nabbed his third most valuable player award from the league! “It’s an honor to win this award for the third time. 2020 was definitely a crazy year filled with lots of change and growth, some amazing memorable moments,” he said during the virtual series, which included Kevin Hart as presenter. “180 straight days of having my nose hair scraped, playing for very little fans or no stands the entire season,” he reflected. Fans have only been able to attend football games in a limited capacity due to social distancing restrictions in place due to COVID-19
“I played some of the best football of my career. So I’d like to thank first and foremost my teammates for their support, inspiration, protection and incredible play on the field,” the California native went on, shouting out his fellow Green Bay Packers. “The coaching staff for their efforts to make this fun every single week, the energy, the positivity and the daily presentations really kept us going. Off the field, I got a really great group of people that support me. So I’d like to thank my team,” he concluded.
