Aaron Rodgers Surpasses 60,000 Career Passing Yards

New York has its first Aaron Rodgers milestone to celebrate. Rodgers surpassed 60,000 career passing yards in the New York Jets’ Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in London. The four-time AP NFL Most Valuable Player connected with tight end Tyler Conklin for a 7-yard gain in the third quarter to eclipse the historic mark.

Aaron Rodgers: The Journey to 60,000 Yards

Having entered the game with 59,904 career yards, Rodgers opened up the NFL's London Games by reaching his latest landmark. Rodgers, who’s been the NFL’s active leader in passing yards since all-time record-holder Tom Brady (89,214) retired after the 2022 season, remains ninth all time in yardage but has reached rarefied air.

  • He’s now part of the 60K club, which includes:
  • Dan Marino (61,361)
  • Matt Ryan (62,792)
  • Philip Rivers (63,440)
  • Ben Roethlisberger (64,088)
  • Brett Favre (71,838)
  • Peyton Manning (71,940)
  • Drew Brees (80,358)

Four snaps into his first season with the Jets, Rodgers was lost to an Achilles tear. Five games into his second season with Gang Green, Rodgers is making history with his new squad.
