4. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers (2011)

Pass NEP: 231.30

Aaron Rodgers, at 33 years old, is the youngest of these greats to accumulate a 200-plus nERD season. In fact, he achieved the feat five years ago when he was 28 and in his fourth season as Green Bay's starter.

It was a year after the Pack's Super Bowl win, but it was this year that Rodgers won his only MVP.

In this campaign, Rodgers threw for career-bests in yards (4,643), touchdowns (45), touchdown percentage (9%), adjusted yards per attempt (10.5), yards per game (309.5) and QBR (86.21). The Packers went 14-1 in Rodgers' 15 starts, ultimately falling to the Giants in the NFC Divisional Round.
