The Aaron Rodgers praise that left Matt LaFleur ‘speechless’ with Packers future in jeopardy
NY Post
Matt LaFleur has nothing but appreciation for his former quarterback.
The Packers coach was admittedly “speechless” Tuesday upon learning Aaron Rodgers had sung his praises to the media amid recent speculation about his job security following a disappointing finish to the season.
Rodgers, who played the first 18 years of his prolific career in Green Bay — four of which were under LaFleur — scoffed at the mounting buzz to move on from the Packers’ coach, noting how he’s “done a lot of great things in Green Bay and we had a lot of success.”
“I’m speechless,” LaFleur told The Athletic’s Michael Silver via text. “He didn’t have to do that, but he did. (It’s) one of the nicest compliments (of) my life. I’m so appreciative of him for that.”
LaFleur and Rodgers made three straight playoff runs during their time together, which included NFC Championship appearances at the conclusion of the 2019 and ’20 seasons.
