Aaron Rodgers, starting quarterback - that just has a good ring to it.

I think the guys are starting to rally around my leadership style and the way I do things. I've been waiting for this opportunity my whole life.

Leadership can't be forced or contrived. It has to be your personality.

Playing behind a first-ballot Hall of Famer, who also is the all-time record holder for consecutive starts by a quarterback, it's a different mind-set. You just have to challenge yourself in ways that you never challenged yourself before.

I think being recognized more is something you have to get used to, whether it's your homeland or when you're traveling. People recognize me from my play or a commercial I've done. It's just a normal part of life.

I think you can train yourself to block out some of that pressure and replace it with confidence. It's about preparation, and the more prepared I am, the less pressure I feel and the more confident I am. As your confidence grows, it's only natural that the pressure you feel diminishes.

I know the pressure I'm under. I know who I'm following.
